It looks as if the American People will finally get their crumbling infrastructure repaired and renewed!

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Sorry but you're wrong.

Getting the first piece of major legislation passed in decades to provide jobs and infrastructure repair (one that is VERY popular and signed on by NINETEEN GOP Senators) is a major boost and will be greatly appreciated

We'll see how many of those senators still have jobs to return to when their terms are up.
Not many, I'm betting.
This latest iteration the dems are pushing is merely a bigger, more extravagant and wasteful version of Barry Obama's Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

We all remember how money for those "shovel ready jobs" went to teacher's unions, banks (foreign and domestic), auto companies and failed green energy Friends of Obama's.
*President Obama's Taxpayer-Backed Green Energy Failures

We all recall what a flaming success that was.
I guess they think people won't remember what happened in 2009. I bet they will. And people will
reacquaint themselves with the term "inflation" too.

9 Things to Know About Senate's $1.1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill

The Senate unveiled its long-awaited $1.1 trillion infrastructure bill on Monday. Touted as centrist and reasonable, it is anything but.

Interesting reading about a waste of our tax dollars. Hell the whole bill should be for infrastructure repair. Not the trough for the congress critters.

Americans finally have a President who can achieve what the former guy only blew gas about:

As Congress debates, most Americans back Biden's trillion-dollar spending bills​

The ambitious and expensive Democratic spending bills being debated on Capitol Hill have a big advantage: Most Americans support them.​

​

The $1 trillion infrastructure bill was backed by 63% of Americans in a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll. And the $3.5 trillion budget plan, the most significant expansion of the social safety net since LBJ's Great Society, was endorsed by 52%.​

​

The infrastructure bill, which has passed the Senate and is scheduled to be voted on by the House late next month, was forged across partisan lines and is backed by 36% of Republicans as well as nearly all Democrats. The massive budget reconciliation measure, which so far has drawn only Democratic votes, was supported by 9 of 10 Democrats, 1 in 5 Republicans and close to half of independents.​

Exclusive: As Congress debates, most Americans back Biden's trillion-dollar spending bills

Details of the $3.5 trillion budget plan include education, child care and more; the infrastructure bill focuses more on items like roads and bridges.

It's called sound public policy and responsible governance.

This is one wasteful bill and after reading this I can see why the Dems are pushing for it. It adds hundreds of billions to the debt.

Interesting reading. What a waste of money brought to you by the idiots we vote for.

You claimed that only 25% was for Infrastructure.

What you posted was the Heritage Foundation whining about "wasteful transportation spending. And adding to the debt (completely forgetting your and their support for adding 2T o the debt for tax cuts)

Fail honey

If this bill were all for infrastructure I'd be all for it. However there is so much pork in it its nauseating.

You should read some of what in the bill that adds billions to the debt.

You failed again

 

[Claudette]

Lesh
No. I'd say you failed. If I said 25% I meant 45%. The first bill had only 5% in it for infrastructure repair.

The bill is a whole lot of pork and very little infrastructure repair money.

What I read really told the story. You of course don't like it because of who wrote it. To bad. So sad. We tax payers will be stuck paying for this trillion dollar POS bill.

 

[initforme]

There's the labor bashers again. You will take that $25 per hour and be thankful for it ... Uhhhh yeah. $25 an hour is a poverty wage. Fyi. "Unions this pensions that.". We sure don't want workers having a good wage. Typical American....I'm the only one who should get paid well. The rest shouldn't. Same old song and dance. I know a paving company whose workers are making $60 per hour. Some idiots think that's too much.

 

[Indeependent]

It's not a Lego® caprice. Qualified engineers and many other specialists and construction personnel are required to fulfill the jobs created.

1 out of every 10 will not be a trespasser.
No one audits these projects.

Aren't you counting your chickens before they are hatched?

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Well President Trump was right.

The problem is this “infrastructure bill” doesn’t do much for infrastructure and is nothing but pork from Democrats. We also don’t have the money and all they will do is print another $3.5 trillion, which will lead to further inflation and destroy the middle class.

Socialist are always looters, and socialism only enslaves the middle class and it doesn't lift the poor, it only enriches the socialist politicians.

 

[Dana7360]

I believe that has been settled.

The larger bill is moving forward as well but there are hurdles yet...including McConnell Sinema and Manchin

I have not heard it's been settled. Do you have an article I can read? I hope that they have finally agreed.

mcconnell isn't a factor in a reconciliation bill. mconnell can't filibuster it so mcconnell is irrelevant in the reconciliation.

The hurdles are Sinema and Manchin.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Sorry doof. You don't get removed from office due to low poll numbers or trump would have been gone in his first year

But you DO get removed from the presidency for being demonstrably and unequivocally senile and unfit for office. Who are you to doubt anyone's understanding of what's going on?
In fact other world leaders are now calling for crooked racist Joe to step down. Grow up, dimwit!

What happened to all those "Infrastructure Weeks" after that?

Nuffin?

Ohhh

Okay, so we'll chalk up your statement as what, deliberate, ignorant, or accident?

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Bullshit!

And those "failed energy" projects?

Why not document that, like I already did (post #81) instead of just claiming it then?

How's that "insurrection" coming along for you propagandists?

 

[schmidlap]

How's that "insurrection" coming along for you propagandists?

Regardless of how you need to spin the disgusting event, Trump goons are being prosecuted and confessing, and Congress is investigating the attack upon it:

The House select committee charged with investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has issued a wave of record requests targeting communications by former President Trump and his top officials in the lead-up to the deadly riot.​

​

It marks the most widespread list of demands since the siege, directing letters to eight federal entities, including the National Archives and Records Administration, which is charged with maintaining records for past White House administrations. The demands could be followed by subpoenas.​

​

They target communications by Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence and other top officials as well as White House visitor and call logs related to the day of the attack. Other agencies also included in the wave of requests include the Departments of Justice, Defense and Interior...​

Jan. 6 Select Committee Probe Expands To Trump And Top Officials In Wave Of Demands

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol issued a broad wave of record requests to 8 federal agencies, including any communications by Rudy Giuliani and Ivanka Trump.

[Eric Arthur Blair]

It took awhile to work through your turgid verbosity, that was tediously bombastic, but I didn't see you actually acknowledge there was no "insurrection" on Jan. 6th despite it entering the leftist lexicon of popular anti Trump myths and lies.

Taking it's place alongside the claim that Trump was Putin's lackey, despite no claim to support that lie and plenty to declare, to the contrary, that Trump has thwarted Russia many times.

6 times the Trump administration actually was tough on Russia

President Donald Trump has a complicated relationship with Russia. Here's what the Trump administration has actually done to confront Russian aggression.

www.businessinsider.com

There was the infamous Trump and Russian prostitutes peeing in a bed in a Russian hotel room (a lie).
The Robert Mueller two year long inquisition which turned up nothing against Trump, etc.

I know it's been a popular talking point of yours but don't you think it's time to put
your calumny away and work with facts for a change?
