[progressive hunter]

Billionaires need their tax cuts.

Otherwise they’ll leave and then what will we do?

And you need your food stamps..


So where does that leave the rest?

on our own like we should be,,,

Despite the fact that this spending provision originated under the Trump administration, Fox News blamed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for the bridge’s funding request and attacked Democrats for supposedly wasteful spending on it. The provision also received condemnation from Republican members of Congress, and Fox provided a platform for them to air their baseless grievance even as the network’s opinion hosts amplified it.

Fox News sounds alarm about "Schumer bridge" request in pandemic relief bill. The request originated in Trump's DOT.

Yes we need to pay for bridges. How many bridges have collapsed in the last decade or so?

Our infrastructure is falling apart and is seriously outdated.

The people of our nation have been calling for new infrastructure for decades.

trump ran on it in 2016 but never did anything about it once he was president.

We have trillions to throw away on tax cuts for the filthy rich but we don't need to pay for bridges?

We need responsible people in our government.

not the job of feds to maintain state infrastructure,,

I agree. The Fed should only be interested in Fed infrastructure. Let the States take care of their own.

It's disgusting to see republicans say that bridges aren't necessary.

Our infrastructure is crumbling all over the nation but republicans won't allow it to be rebuilt, yet at the same time will they give trillions in tax cuts to people who are already filthy rich.

Yes bridges are necessary.

It's very clear, if today's republicans were in our congress in the Eisenhower years we wouldn't have the interstate highway system we have today.

They would say it's not necessary.

I see this silly claim all the time.

Our roads and bridges are, in no way, 'crumbling.'

Nor do we need to use covid relief to provide cover for pet projects. That this practice is accepted is disgusting.

ah, finally. That's the real reason to not have infrastructure in the relief bill. BUT ...... it's not really a relief bill.

Conversely, however, the dems in GA ran on $1400 for those under $75K. Maybe it was not a good thing, but Biden adopted the promise. Will he reneg just to get some gop votes.? The dems won.

That was not why it was called unconst. And there's nothing unconstitutional with the feds using funds to assist in state road projects. But it's not short term stimulus

well if it's not a relief bill, take relief money out and call it an infrastructure bill. call it what it is rather than lie. All the demofks do is lie, lie, lie lie, lie.

No they don't. But they sure won't turn them down if offered. Billionaires and corporations have been awash in cash since W was in office, but it's not translating into jobs because their workers are all tapped out. These people couldn't possibly live on less money than they do now.

With raises to the lowest paid workers, this will unleash an enormous amount of pent up demand. It's demand that drives supply, not the other way around.

ain't that the truth.

 

[Orangecat]

Then pass a bridge repair bill. Covid relief does not include bridge funding or liberal shit-hole bailouts.

 

[basquebromance]

Covid didn't crush the economy, government lockdowns crushed the economy!

 

[Jets]

If Congress has the votes to pass an infrastructure bill, let them do so.

If the voters object to the legislature stepping on an area reserved for the state governments, 2022 presents the opportunity to punish those elected reps...

 

[Orangecat]

Everyone needs tax cuts. The government has proven itself fiscally incompetent to the tune of roughly 27 trillion dollars. Take away the credit card already.

What the fuck does it matter what they call it?

This is a covid relief bill. It provides relief to cities, states and people who are affected by covid.

It also provides jobs to people who may have permanently lost their jobs, helping to rebuild infrastructure. Helping people to rebuild their lives AFTER covide, TOO.
