Kicking off 2023 by Celebrating a Bipartisan Achievement

Billions of dollars of meaningful projects have been identified

Pay for them.

Is it too late to undo Eisenhower's Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956?

What was wrong with conestoga wagons anyway?

That was what state run infrastructure got us

A hodgepodge of random roads that lead to a state border

 

[rightwinger]

Pay for them.

We are

Thank you President Biden

 

[schmidlap]

And what are you going to do about it?

Keep my shovel at the ready if the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is repealed and the decades of deterioration reinstatated.

 

[pknopp]

We are

Thank you President Biden

We aren't.

A well prepared man always keeps a shovel handy.....Along with nylon ties, a roll of duct-tape, and one of HD plastic....Oh wait, too much info!

27 Billion for infrastructure over 5 years.
100 billion immediately to Ukraine.
American people always lowest priority.

Thank you President Biden

Why don't the churlish malcontents just mewl that the President stole Trump's idea?

Trump calls for infrastructure plan of ‘at least’ $1.5T​

​

Trump vows to repair nation's 'crumbling' Infrastructure​

 

[schmidlap]

27 Billion for infrastructure over 5 years.
100 billion immediately to Ukraine.
American people always lowest priority.

Americans overwhemlingly support freedom, despite a few kowtowing to Putin, but the infrastructure renewal that Trump said was desperately needed is in America and for Americans.

 

[Anathema]

NEVER found to be unconstitutional

Only because the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are as immoral, corrupt, and demonic as the politicians who pass the spending bills and the Presidents who have signed them.

100 years worth of Justices and every one of them was immoral, corrupt and demonic?

Just because they support federal funding of infrastructure?

 

[Anathema]

100 years worth of Justices and every one of them was immoral, corrupt and demonic?

Just because they support federal funding of infrastructure

Minimally the last 160 years of Presidents, Congresspeople, Justices and Federal employees have all been immoral, corrupt, demonic, and have acted unconstitutionally.

Biden's achieving significant bipartisan progress for the good of the nation has some chronic malcontents is a tizzy.

Nineteen Republicans joined the Democratic caucus to pass the legislation.

The President is fulfilling his campaign commitment to bipartisanship.

Biden Signs Landmark Bipartisan Gun Measure​

Biden has racked up more bipartisan victories than any
president of either party in a generation.​

A government that has spent multiple trillions of dollars over the past two decades still needs to spend money on infrastructure, should tell you something.

Where did all those trillions go?

Drive in Southern I 95 areas and you will see the truth.

 

[Mac-7]

Still can’t believe how many Republicans voted against a universally popular bill like infrastructure

The bill is loaded with pork that has nothing to do with roads and bridges

So it's not universally popular with me

 

[schmidlap]

The bipartisan funding bill advances key priorities for our country and caps off a year of historic bipartisan progress for the American people. ... This bill is further proof that Republicans and Democrats can come together to deliver for the American people, and I’m looking forward to continued bipartisan progress in the year ahead.

Biden has racked up more bipartisan legislative victories than nearly anyone expected two years ago. As regular readers know, the list includes the infrastructure package, the CHIPS and Science Act, an expansion of veterans benefits in the PACT Act, the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — the first major legislation to address gun violence in nearly three decades — and the Postal Service Reform Act. Even the Respect for Marriage Act passed with a fair amount GOP support in both chambers.

The U.S. has been increasingly desperate for major infrastructure repair for decades.

H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act​

​

President Joe Biden will join Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a Wednesday event in Kentucky aimed at highlighting the effects of the $1 trillion 2021 infrastructure bill, a White House official said Sunday.​

​

The pair, along with Republican Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, are to appear at a ceremony highlighting the $1.64 billion in funding awarded to for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project connecting the two states across the Ohio River.​

​

Then President Barack Obama visited the crossing in 2011 and urged Congress to pass a jobs bill costing billions of dollars that he said could include rebuilding the bridge, which by then had already been declared functionally obsolete.​

​

Trump backed funding for the project, but he failed during his four years in office to secure money for it or to pass the big infrastructure bill he repeatedly promised.​

​

The 2021 infrastructure law includes $27 billion over five years to fix and replace thousands of aging U.S. bridges.​

[Biden to promote U.S. infrastructure spending in bipartisan Kentucky visit]​

I would personally like to thank China for funding our new bridges.

I would personally like to thank China for funding our new bridges.

If you feel that you have an indebtedness to China, there is nothing to prevent you from gushing your personal gratitude.

If you feel that you have an indebtedness to China, there is nothing to prevent you from gushing your personal gratitude.

1 trillion in debt is not a feeling.
