Every bit of it is JOBS$621 billion for transportation includes:If you did the "simple division" then you post your numbers. What a fucking twat you still are. Know nothing and post everything. Asshole.Wrong, turd. I did some simple division.Haha, ok so it’s now not zero it’s 5%, which i guarantee you are either pulling out of your ass or parroting from a right wing propaganda media source. Don’t be lazythere's about 5%. Infrastructure would be a bridge, a road, an airport, a damn.There’s no infrastructure? Really? Well what would an example of an infrastructure project be in your mind?Biden is providing more oversight? His "infrastructure" is nothing but a grab bag of every welfare program any Democrat ever wanted. There's no infrastructure in it.Ugh i dont.
Whats the big differences between this covid bill and the ones trump signed? Besides biden putting more oversight on the loan process so billionaires arent getting bailed out by our great grandchildren?
You are certifiably brain-dead.
Please show an accounting of anything more than $100 billion in infrastructure.
Total
- $115 billion for modernizing roads, highways, and bridges -
- $20 billion for road safety – pork, not infrastructure
- $85 billion for public transit – waste of money
- $80 billion for Amtrak and freight rail service – What the fuck does this mean?
- $174 billion for electric vehicles – pork, not infrastructure
- $25 billion for airports
- $17 billion for ports
- $20 billion for neighborhoods historically excluded from transportation investments – pork, not infrastructure
- $25 billion to fund new projects – meaningless. Not infrastructure.
- $50 billion for infrastructure resilience, with a special emphasis on more vulnerable areas – pork, not infrastructure
$621 - $20 - $80 - $174 - $20 - $25 - $50 = $301
$111 billion for water infrastructure includes:
$0
- $45 billion towards fully eliminating lead pipes through various programs – this is a scam
- $56 billion in loans and grants to help modernize water systems around the country – they don’t need modernizing.
- $10 billion for monitoring and fixing substances in drinking water – What substances?
Broadband and power
$0
- $100 billion for broadband – we can solve this issue by giving people a Starlink account. Furthermore, it’s just another form of welfare.
- $100 billion for power infrastructure includes:
- $16 billion towards plugging old wells and cleaning up abandoned mines – not infrastructure
- $5 billion towards revamping former industrial and energy sites – what the fuck is “revamping
- $10 billion for the creation of a Civilian Climate Corps - Creae a propaganda and brainwashing dept.
Housing and education
$213 billion for creating and retrofitting over 2 million housing units, with a $40 billion investment in public housing infrastructure- Housgin is nott infrastructure. This is just more welfare.

- $25 billion for upgrading childcare facilities and making it more widely accessible
- This is accompanied by a tax credit to incentivize building childcare at Americans' places of work - welfare

- This would expand access, and seek to improve wages, benefits, and unionization for workers in the industry. – welfare

- $50 billion for research and manufacturing for semiconductors – the Semiconductor industry has been doing fine without government help.
- $30 billion to create new jobs and fend off losses during future pandemics - welfare
- $46 billion for federal buying, with an emphasis on various clean technologies – clean energy boondoggle
- $20 billion for regional innovation hubs – government boondoggle
- $14 billion towards increasing competitiveness through technological advances – government boondoggle
- $52 billion to domestic manufacturers – for what?
