Infrastructure Week Finally Here! House passes $1.3T bill.

[rightwinger]

Government - Interest Expense on the Debt Outstanding

What interest do we pay on our debt?
Less than 2% ?

Good time to carry debt

 

[citygator]

Yawn.

ONLY 550 BILLION.......lol.........

They will Launder the money as always.

Here’s where it’s going:


$110 billion for roads and bridges. In addition to construction and repair, the funding also helps pay for transportation research at universities, funding for Puerto Rico’s highways, and “congestion relief” in American cities.



$66 billion for railroads. Funding includes upgrades and maintenance of America’s passenger rail system and freight rail safety, but nothing for high-speed rail.


$65 billion for the power grid. The bill would fund updates to power lines and cables, as well as provide money to prevent hacking of the power grid. Clean energy funding is also included.


$65 billion for broadband. Includes funding to expand broadband in rural areas and in low-income communities. Approximately $14 billion of the total would help reduce Internet bills for low-income citizens.


$55 billion for water infrastructure. This funding includes $15 billion for lead pipe replacement, $10 billion for chemical cleanup, and money to provide clean drinking water in tribal communities.


$47 billion for cybersecurity and climate change. The Resilience Fund will protect infrastructure from cybersecurity attacks and address flooding, wildfires, coastal erosion, and droughts along with other extreme weather events.


$39 billion for public transit. Funding here provides for upgrades to public transit systems nationwide. The allocation also includes money to create new bus routes and help make public transit more accessible to seniors and disabled Americans.


$25 billion for airports. This allocation provides funding for major upgrades and expansions at U.S. airports. Air traffic control towers and systems would receive $5 billion of the total for upgrades.


$21 billion for the environment. These monies would be used to clean up superfund and brownfield sites, abandoned mines, and old oil and gas wells.


$17 billion for ports. Half of the funds in this category would go to the Army Corps of Engineers for port infrastructure. Additional funds would go to the Coast Guard, ferry terminals, and reduction of truck emissions at ports.


$11 billion for safety. Appropriations here are to address highway, pedestrian, pipeline, and other safety areas with highway safety getting the bulk of the funding.


$8 billion for western water infrastructure. Ongoing drought conditions in the western half of the country will be addressed through investments in water treatment, storage, and reuse facilities.


$7.5 bill for electric vehicle charging stations. The Biden administration asked for this funding to build significantly more charging stations for electric vehicles across the nation.


$7.5 billion for electric school buses. With an emphasis on bus fleet replacement in low-income, rural, and tribal communities, this funding is expected to allow those communities to convert to zero-emission buses

Oddball Yep, the Dems are partying like it's 2009. This is a rerun of how Pelosi jammed the ACA through behind closed doors after midnight.

You gotta strike while you got the votes
2009 showed that

Republicans made sure they rammed through their tax cuts before they lost the House

LOL Is that your economic advice........Do it til a car is 100k.

You know only your side believes in your troll propoganda. Best thing to happen to this country is NEVER RAISE THE DEBT CEILING AGAIN.

To all the countries we owe money too.........do as they do to us. screw the debt we owe you ZERO just as over time we didn't get paid back by you.

Especially China. lol

Let's piss in the Chineese Kung Flu Cornflakes.....Think Brandon has the guts to do that.

What Republicans call PORK

I hope they turn down that PORK in their districts

Yawn.

ONLY 550 BILLION.......lol.........

They will Launder the money as always.

Years from now these same useful idiots that support this will forget that we passed this infrastructure bill. A few prominate infrastructure projects will actually take place and will be placed prominently on the front page of their favorite MSM web sites. That is all it takes to trick the imbeciles that vote for these people. The majority of the money will be pocketed and the same ignorant people that support it now will be clamoring for more infrastructure spending again when the are told we don’t have enough money. Rinse and repeat. You can’t fix stupid and Democratic politicians LOVE the abundance of it in their constituency.

When Reagan ran up our debt we were paying over 7% on that debt
Today, we pay less than 2 percent

2250 pages long........Loop holes out the ass as usual......The Founding Fathers warned us about these assholes.

Any bill TOO VOLUMOUS TO UNDERSTAND ...........SHOULD NEVER BE PASSED.

How about they do the job 1 bridge at a time. With bids ........and approve it that way. HARD DOLLAR JOBS ONLY

They will not do that because they can't Launder the money that way.

We will not be building a Hoover Dam

Most of the projects will be under the radar but vital. Replacing pipes and power lines, protections against cyber attacks, maintenance on crumbling bridges, rail upgrades, public safety improvements

Things Republicans are calling Communism

652 or so billion a year. WOW...........lets just ignore the fact that it now cost $10 for a burger and fires.............OH YOUR SIDE has a solution to that. Kill off the cows ...........they fart ...........Enjoy your lettuce sandwich from Not a Burger King anymore store.

Yes.........the World Economic Forum......who are meeting in Scottland right now want to treat BEEF as a luxury item only to be eaten once and a while.

The price of a burger has nothing to do with the interest we pay on our national debt.

I call you a communist..........and I call our gov't criminals.........that clear it up for you.

I remember 2008 and how we needed to SAVE THE WORLD........Obama SHOVEL READY JOBS. He Laundered his ass off for his buddies. Then go I GUESS THEY AREN'T SO SHOVEL READY.

Go sell your ISM to the brain washed minions of this country. We know they are a pack of Liars and Thieves here.

 

[eagle1462010]

Yawn. It has everything to do with the VALUE OF THE DOLLAR.........And that VALUE is determined by the Debt you CRIMINALS KEEP INCREASING.

It is a DEBT that can NEVER BE PAID OFF...........The rest of the world has also done the same with their currency. Politicians don't care because they KNOW THIS.........The DEBT AND TAX is PAID VIA INFLATION.

It is paid when housing goes up 60% in less than 2 years...............And a cheeseburger costs TWICE what it did 2 years ago.

You are just SHOVELING PRAVDA as Always.; The CURE IS THE CONSTITUTION.......And SPAYING AND NEUTERING THE FEDERAL GOV'T. They are THIEVES that MAKE AL CAPONE LOOK LIKE AN AMATEUR.

I saw Shovel Ready Jobs in my community because my state used the funding for projects ready to be completed

Red States used that money to balance their budgets and saw few shovel ready jobs

Yawn.............Your side Laundering the money on the Green Money Eating Machine.

I'd like to thank you for the nice comment on Red States though. Your side doesn't care about Balanced budgets which is why Cali and New York are always SCREAMING FOR FEDERAL FREE MONEY.

If you are soooo. GREAT. Why is everyone running from your Blue States...........I wish you would keep them. But your side WANTS THEM TO MOVE so you can turn Red Blue.

The Politicians don't care about the people in this country.

Yawn. Ive seen the Gov't contracts both in the Military and on the outside. Long ago just increase the bid to DOUBLE......Now it's way over that. Sell a compartment at Ingalls shipbuilding even though the wires are too short. Charge the gov't 4 more times to fix the short wires. during just a couple at a time. Force them to pay for every compartment wireway to be redone EACH TIME.

Then stamp a N on a STAINLES BOLT and charge them 4 times the cost.

I've seen that with my own eyes.........HOW ABOUT YOU.

The gov't promises ISM.........GIVES us BS in return. They will LAUNDER THIS MONEY AS ALWAYS.

Are you referring to the tax break that caused businesses to upgrade infrastructure all over the US and that’s why we don’t need this bill?
