$1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Spending- Name One Project

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Most of th money is going to line the pockets of union bosses and all the relatives they list as employees who never show up to work

Claiming everyone else is getting $$$ but saying nothing about Trump's big giveaway.

March 22 2020
The White House on Sunday reportedly refused to back down from its demand that a coronavirus relief package include $500 billion, which would be provided to corporations at the discretion of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

June 11 2020
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Congress Wednesday that the Trump administration intends to keep secret the names of the businesses that have received more than $500 billion in COVID-19 bailout funds through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), claiming the information is “confidential.”

The Government Accountability Office, which is supposed to brief Congress on whether COVID-19 relief funds are being distributed as intended, says the Treasury has refused to give the agency the names of recipients.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Now read the OP.
Name one project and it’s project date.

The states get the $$$, they distribute the $$$, to their agencies that made request to fix or build something that the state couldn't, because of lack of $$$, thanks to the GQP.

The states/ counties and cities are the one that signs a project contract and start dates.

This isn't about Trump.

Start a thread on that if you want. I'm no fan of Trump.

I agree
We need to do more

Trump said that at a SOTU. Progs were doing their child act. Remember! More bills need to be voted on in separate fashion to stop or slow down the Pork and the payoffs.

The GQP is only worried about the debt/deficit/pork when a democrat is in office or at election time.

And democrats only worry about the debt when a republican is in office.

This is nothing new.

No, just the way the debt is acquired.
Investing in tax cuts for corporations.
Investing for people.

It makes no difference.

Yeah, that $5 trillion you put kids in debt for will go a long way towards what kind of future they’ll have.

So will safe roads and clean drinking water

That’s it! Roads are unsafe and Americans are dying from infected well water from the village square!

If only Democrats controlled those problem areas!

 

[BluesLegend]

Avoiding the small print, aren't you.? No doubt there will be more money spent on non
infrastructure than infrastructure. I'm sure the left will redefine 'infrastructure' to encompass
the fraud.

Dems ignored their crumbling sewer systems for decades. Instead funneling the money into public employee unions to buy votes. Repeated spills of hundreds of millions of gallons of raw untreated sewage into rivers and oceans. Now taxpayers in other states basically have to pay to fix sewer systems in blue states. This bill is a Dem blue state BAIL OUT.

 

[AMart]

Some of the woke folk are thinking they gonna get new roads and bridges everywhere.

Or roads and bridges will be destroyed because they are rayyyyccccssstttt.

 

[Turtlesoup]

I can’t see one specific thing the money is to be spent on. Just the generic “highways” “bridges” etc.

Where’s the itemized list? They came up with the dollar amount, based upon what?

Which bridges?
Which highways?
What’s their project dates?

What will Biden's bipartisan infrastructure bill do?

It's a slush fund that will make Buttigeau rich and he will never have to show up to work.

 

[Turtlesoup]

All of which is nonsense....Buttigeau is already personally approving "projects" especially those that relate to equity (black neighborhoods) to move hwy etc. It's a money giveaway and like with Obama's shovel ready projects nothing for taxpayers---just more debt. Buttigeau will be super rich after this as well.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Even the Leftard ‘fact’ checkers call bullshit.

Biden and Buttigieg Overstate Jobs Impact from Infrastructure Bill - FactCheck.org

President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg overstated the impact of the bipartisan, Senate-approved infrastructure bill on job creation, citing instead an economic forecast that includes the much larger and partisan "human infrastructure" bill.

Thankfully, we have responsible Democrats doing something about it instead of Republicans trying to cut taxes on Billionaires

Blue Cities have been subsidizing Red Rural Infrastructure for generations

Without those subsidies Rural America would not have paved roads, electric power, phone, hospitals and modern schools

Do you really think that Gates and other billionaires are going to pay more taxes?
Are you really that gullible?
The democrats will make sure they don't.

They are paying historically low tax rates
