The so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill (pictured here) is a 2,700-page monstrosity set to bankrupt America as the Biden administration further urges trillions in spending during his first year in office.
A total of 17 GOP Senators agreed to the bipartisan deal before the text of the bill had been released. Yet there was a bill in the works all along. The text had been in draft mode for some time, including a various incentives for those involved.
The bill even gives anti-Trump Republican, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, a large payout toward an Alaska highway. Murkowski, if you remember, voted to impeach Trump, and block Brett Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court. Was this payback for her anti-Trump, anti-GOP efforts one wonders?
The bigger question is what does Biden’s trillion-dollar infrastructure bill mean for you and me? In many cases, absolutely nothing. Depending where you live, you may see some federal funding for a road or bridge, but most of the bill seems to focus on political give and take deals for those seeking reelection.
The entire process has become infuriating for many Americans who see the process as a waste of taxpayer time and money. We elect representatives to support efforts that help the American people. It increasingly seems like the efforts benefit American politicians.
I’m sure somewhere in the final version will be a big chunk of cash for “climate justice” efforts or electric cars. Why? Payback for funding the last election and preparation for the midterms.
But if Biden was really concerned about America’s infrastructure, he sure hasn’t shown it. During his first week in office, he canceled construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and Trump’s border wall. These two important pieces of infrastructure could have helped America in very real ways, yet Biden ended thousands of jobs through the stroke of a pen.
Now it’s being reported that the government is paying up to $2 billion for companies to watch the border wall materials to make sure they are safe.
Congress is currently on recess, but is expected back later in August to move forward on the legislation. When it does, it will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens. It looks like the current $1.2 trillion bill will be a go, as numerous Republicans have had hands in its development.
The next question will be whether this bill will push forward the $3.5 trillion reconciliation infrastructure bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she would not bring the infrastructure bill to a vote without the other.
If so, those 17 GOP members did a lot of work for nothing. In fact, that’s exactly what former President Donald Trump said in a recent statement.
Trump argued Senate Republicans should not negotiate at all until they have power in the Senate. The Art of the Deal author may be right on this one. It’s not even worth making a bipartisan effort if Pelosi plans a bait and switch strategy in the House.
Kill this infistruckture bill. We need a real program not hashtag crap.
Biden can be impeached, if the Republicans enact the ‘War Measure Act’ against him.
With all the illegals he’s letting in, they are a threat to National Security!
Dump Biden and Harris. Time to put America first
Yes we need to get rid of the entire Biden Administration. Just like the Obama era, which Obama tried to destroy this country, we are at the same low as we were in 2008-2016 ! Biden is Obama’s puppet and he will continue to destroy us. We need to expose Obama, Soros, Pelosi and her swamp, and squad. They are all going to destroy America and turn it in to Cuba and Venezuela.
Absolutely right!! The gratest country in the world is being chewed, digested, brought back up, chewed again and spit out by communist presidency. If they’re not stopped soon, it will be too late and there will be no coming back. The entire country should be terrified.
Congress people are OUR employees making US their employers. They are not doing the right work for us by trying to enact certain laws and pass bills that favor only them and not us. I think a new bill must be brought up and passed that says that any new law or bill they want to pass must be voted on by all of us and that can be done in the two year or four year elections. Their bills can be written but be put on hold until election day giving them plenty of time for us to read the words in those bills so we can okay what those words are or demand parts be changed or taken out of that bill. Time to spank all of the House Of representatives. On other thing must be done is pass a bill that says all people running for a seat of any political party must be fully vetted to see if they have criminal backgrounds as many of them had when they got elected and Nancy Pelosi is one of the biggest criminals in Congress – 60 years of crime. I don’t know how she got away with it for so long and the FBI has full files on Pelosi and her family and still didn’t do anything about seeing justice done about the Pelosi’s.
