Republican Said to Be ‘Visibly Shaken’ After Getting Attacked By Trump For Voting For Infrastructure Deal

Uh, it is not.....only a portion of it is committed to actual infrastructure projects. The rest greases the Dimmer pockets.
That's simply a lie, you seem to have ignorantly chosen to believe your master's propaganda.

Here's what's in the infrastructure bill:​

Funding for roads and bridges
The bill calls for investing $110 billion for roads, bridges and major infrastructure projects. That's significantly less than the $159 billion that Biden initially requested in the American Jobs Plan.
Included is $40 billion for bridge repair, replacement and rehabilitation, according to the bill text. The White House says it would be the single, largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system, which started in the 1950s.
The deal also contains $16 billion for major projects that would be too large or complex for traditional funding programs, according to the White House.

Some 20%, or 173,000 miles, of the nation's highways and major roads are in poor condition, as are 45,000 bridges, according to the White House.
The investments would focus on climate change mitigation, resilience, equity and safety for all users, including cyclists and pedestrians.
Also in the package is $11 billion for transportation safety, including a program to help states and localities reduce crashes and fatalities, especially of cyclists and pedestrians, according to the White House. It would direct funding for safety efforts involving highways, trucks, and pipeline and hazardous materials.
And it contains $1 billion to reconnect communities -- mainly disproportionately Black neighborhoods -- that were divided by highways and other infrastructure, according to the White House. It will fund planning, design, demolition and reconstruction of street grids, parks or other infrastructure.
Money for transit and rail
The package would provide $39 billion to modernize public transit, according to the bill text. That's less than the $85 billion that Biden initially wanted to invest in modernizing transit systems and help them expand to meet rider demand.
The funds would repair and upgrade existing infrastructure, make stations accessible to all users, bring transit service to new communities and modernize rail and bus fleets, including replacing thousands of vehicles with zero-emission models, according to the White House.
The deal would also invest $66 billion in passenger and freight rail, according to the bill text. The funds would eliminate Amtrak's maintenance backlog, modernize the Northeast Corridor line and bring rail service to areas outside the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, according to the White House. Included in the package is $12 billion in partnership grants for intercity rail service, including high-speed rail.
The funding is less than the $80 billion Biden originally wanted to send to Amtrak, which he relied upon for decades to get home to Delaware from Washington, DC.
Still, it would be the largest federal investment in public transit in history and in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak 50 years ago, according to the White House.
Broadband upgrade
The bill would provide a $65 billion investment in improving the nation's broadband infrastructure, according to the bill text. Biden initially wanted to invest $100 billion in broadband.

It also aims to help lower the price households pay for internet service by requiring federal funding recipients to offer a low-cost affordable plan, by creating price transparency and by boosting competition in areas where existing providers aren't providing adequate service. It would also create a permanent federal program to help more low-income households access the internet, according to the White House fact sheet.
Upgrading airports, ports and waterways
The deal would invest $17 billion in port infrastructure and $25 billion in airports to address repair and maintenance backlogs, reduce congestion and emissions near ports and airports and promote electrification and other low-carbon technologies, according to the White House.
It is similar to the funding in Biden's original proposal.
Electric vehicles
The bill would provide $7.5 billion for zero- and low-emission buses and ferries, aiming to deliver thousands of electric school buses to districts across the country, according to the White House.
Another $7.5 billion would go to building a nationwide network of plug-in electric vehicle chargers, according to the bill text.
Improving power and water systems
The bill would invest $65 billion to rebuild the electric grid, according to the White House. It calls for building thousands of miles of new power lines and expanding renewable energy, the White House said.
It would provide $55 billion to upgrade water infrastructure, according to the bill text. It would replace lead service lines and pipes so that communities have access to clean drinking water, the White House said.
Another $50 billion would go toward making the system more resilient -- protecting it from drought, floods and cyberattacks, the White House said.
Environmental remediation
The bill would provide $21 billion to clean up Superfund and brownfield sites, reclaim abandoned mine land and cap orphaned gas wells, according to the White House.

Who is believing their poopy master's propaganda? Who? Lets see the specific contract totals for the actual "infrasructure" dollar committment. This is just vague blah blah as usual from the Dims.

Big, big tax burden on those of us who work along with the 450,000 for each illegal Dimmer kid.
 
Why were they mad before Trump chimed in? It was a good infrastructure bill. 19 Republican Senators in the Senate joined democrats to pass it months earlier....

The shame is not more than 13 Republicans in the house voted to pass this bill which was good for all of their right wing constituents too.

Why? Seriously?
The bill might as well be the 'Green New Deal'. It's filled with the pork most conservatives want no part of, and we didn't need Trump to tell us that, nor did he need to say a word about the 13.

You can follow it for the next 10 years of contracts if you like.... :thup:

As I said, if close to half of it goes anywhere close to roads and bridges it will be a shock. We all know what DImmers do with tax money.....give it to their new illegal voter base!

19 republican senators supported the bill in the Senate....that's a bipartisan bill if there ever was a bipartisan bill.....

Political games is what the Repubs in the House are playing....instead of doing what is good for their country....they're more worried about giving President Biden a win! It's shameful!

Uh oh now you are trying to talk to us about the good of the country...really, while smuggling illegals into multiple states throughout the land? Dumping Poopyboy should be the number one goal of any real American interested in the health of our country, you commies are sure trying to destroy it.

The Swamp certainly has Republicans as well as a wealth of Dims.
