As a liberal, I'm glad you agree with me on this. Why are we paying to provide internet to so many people who vote Republicans in rural areas of red states? People who live 5 miles from their nearest neighbor. It's not very profitable for the cable and internet companies to lay the cable out to each of those ******* hicks houses. So each of these red necks who vote Republican should each have to pay $5000 out of pocket to have internet connected to their homes.
So this is one time when federal government Republicans don't mind going outside the scope of what the constitution said is their job. They are going to force us people in Blue states to pay even more taxes so that goober in Mayberry can jerk off to internet porn.
As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the President and Vice President worked with Democrats and Republicans to create the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which allows tens of millions of American households to reduce their internet service costs by up to $30/month (or $75/month on Tribal lands). To ensure the most efficient use of those public dollars and to deliver maximum cost savings to families, the Biden-Harris Administration has secured commitments from 20 leading internet providers—covering more than 80% of the U.S. population across urban, suburban, and rural areas—to either increase speeds or cut prices, making sure they all offer ACP-eligible households high-speed, high-quality internet plans for no more than $30/month.
Trust my hypocrite. Your parties politicians want these federal tax dollars very very much.
