and you wanted it all to go to Mar a Lago :lol

The plan will also include in the range of $400 billion toward home care for the elderly and the disabled, $300 billion for housing infrastructure and $300 billion to revive U.S. manufacturing. And it will include hundreds of billions of dollars to bolster the nation’s electric grid, enact nationwide high-speed broadband and revamp the nation’s water systems to ensure clean drinking water, among other major investments, the people said.

How much of the plan should go to roads and bridges since $650B isn't enough for you?

[Robz4000]

The $650B should be more like $900B imo.

[ducks]

I think since it is the bill it should be over half

[Spurtacular]

If they were actually spending a real third on infrastructure, that would be marvelous.
But I don't see it at all. Nothing of the sort.

[Joseph Kony]

of course you dont, you have your head constantly planted so far up trump's asshole i'm surprised you can type at all

[SnakeBoy]

Having spent 1.9 trillion borrowed dollars on a “COVID-19 relief” bill, only about 9 percent of which goes directly to fighting COVID-19, President Biden and the Democrats next reportedly want to spend another 3 trillion borrowed dollars on an “infrastructure rebuilding” bill.

And if you guessed that the response from their “progressive” wing was “That’s not enough!” then give yourself a box of Cuban cigars and send the bill to your grandkids.

There’s no denying that America needs to improve its infrastructure. We have bridges and overpasses collapsing, water pipes that are older than Joe Biden, and airports that are outdated by international standards.

Even President Trump wanted to spend money to update our infrastructure. But the difference between his push and the Democrats’ version is that he would have actually updated our infrastructure.

He was a builder, and as he has proved repeatedly, from the Wollman Ice Rink to Operation Warp Speed to his deregulation agenda, he knew how to get the government out of the way so that things could get done.

TRENDING: Report: Hunter Biden Lied on ATF Background Check Form in a Major Way, Should Have Never Been Trusted with a Firearm

Under Obama/Biden, hundreds of billions of dollars were spent on “shovel-ready jobs,” only to have Obama later admit that there weren’t any. Construction projects remained hamstrung by government red tape while much of the money went to leftist pet projects, cronyism and keeping blue-state bureaucrats employed through the recession.

Now, Biden’s new proposal looks like the Obama version on steroids.

Only about a third of the $3 trillion would actually go to infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, rail lines, ports and the power grid. Here’s how some of the rest of it would be spent. As The Western Journal has chronicled:

“Biden wants to spend $400 billion to combat climate change, including $60 billion for green transit infrastructure and $46 billion for research and development. The plan also would aim to make electric-vehicle charging stations available across the country.”

We heard the “green jobs” line from Obama (remember how that worked out?), and Toyota just warned that we have nowhere near enough power-generating capacity to charge an all-electric car fleet, while Biden wants to do away with fossil fuels.

So what will all those charging stations connect to? Windmills?

According to The New York Times, the Biden administration also wants to create a massive collection of new programs, including free community college, universal pre-K education, a national paid-leave program, child care support, more subsidies for health insurance and more.

How much of that will be lumped into the “infrastructure” bill?

And of course, to prove they’re fiscally responsible (I’ll pause typing while you finish laughing), the Democrats would include a big tax increase, the last thing an economy struggling to recover from their never-ending COVID shutdowns needs.

Some economists are warning that by flooding a weak economy with borrowed money in a way that doesn’t strengthen real economic growth, Biden is steering America into a return of stagflation, the combination of inflation (rising prices) and a stagnant economy that made the Jimmy Carter years so miserable.

If so, then the only silver lining would be that maybe history will repeat itself.

Carter messed things up so badly that voters elected Ronald Reagan to fix it. So far, Biden’s policies have been like Carter’s on steroids, so maybe the next president will be like Reagan on steroids. Let’s hope so!

Biden's blend of tax changes and infrastructure spending, to be followed by a health care-focused component, is likely to meet the same fate. McConnell said the White House's new proposal and the GOP reaction to it "underscores the principle difference between the two parties."

"You're either alarmed about the level of national debt and the future impact of that on our children and our grandchildren or you aren't," he said. "My view of infrastructure is we ought to build that which we can afford, and not either whack the economy with major tax increases or run up the national debt even more."

The CARES Act passed generously for Labor exclusively because it necessarily also included $100Bs for the BigDonor class.

The BigDonor class got paid, always gets paid, because it "legally" bribes all of Congress, where the ROI on the bribes is the 100%s if not 1000s% over the years.
