All she cared about was Trump finding away to prosecute her for here kid working at the same place as Hunter Biden.

 

[rightwinger]

Your guy listened to the right-wing instead of the center or left. All the right-wing cared about was their failed "Nazi Wall".

not to leave AMERICANS behind
not to get AMERICANS killed
that the borders should be controlled
that the illegals are winding up in a city near you
the TRUTH ASSHOLE

 

[rightwinger]

Good

We need much more infrastructure than that

 

[Mac1958]

not to leave AMERICANS behind

that the borders should be controlled
that the illegals are winding up in a city near you
the TRUTH ASSHOLE

So you feel a need to change the subject of the thread.

I'm not surprised.

 

[easyt65]

Your guy listened to the right-wing instead of the center or left. All the right-wing cared about was their failed "Nazi Wall".

The Democrats who embraced the Marxist Extremists have moved so far to the left that what you call 'far right' is what used to be the center.

Why are snowflakes so triggered by tgd thought of actual border security and protected national sovereignty?

I agree to disagree. FDR was more extreme. Right-wingers simply have no better solutions at lower cost.

 

[tshrimp]

They better be sending me a stimulus check.

Entitlement at its best.

 

[Moonglow]

Entitlement at its best.

Of course I am a white American we all feel entitlement.

 

[beautress]

Maybe you should tell the good news to all the ODs caused by drugs overun this yr

When a father wakes up one morning and realizes he will never again have the joy of playing football passind coach to his son killed by one dose of the Chinese-Mexican fentenyl poison that kills 300 American youth per week, that is what is called hurting. And in a year 300x52= that comes to 15,600 American fathers because somebody in the White House is likely extorting cash in hush money to the allow the drug cartels to kill American like a certain House Speaker gets off on the cruel abortion deaths of a million babies per annum from shameful mothers who kill their innocent ancestors future on this planet many of whom died with a weapon in their hands to allow their prodigy to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Instead, those helpless little babies whose tortured-to-death and dismembered frames and once-alive little bodies have no grave markers on this earth because cold-hearted females recruited professional assassins to get rid of them any which way they can including flushed down the toilet with their mother's poop in the water. Some of us see what sin does to the innocent and we feel sick to our stomachs for being the only ones who cares what happens to these, our fellow Americans in their early stage in life that ends the scientist, the judge, the minister, ball player, cheerleader, comedian, a Mr. Universe, a First Lady, a peacemaker who would have brought peace to the earth without once thinking of the Lord and giver of life who expects better of a parent than paying for or for chooses to kill the life they don't want messing up their fentanyl high.

DONT BE A RIGHT WING STUPID PARROT. Here is what is in the bill. Only $550M is incremental over normal spending.

What's in the $1.2 Trillion Bipartisan Bill​

The 2,702-page bipartisan bill, which has not changed, contains just $550 billion in new spending. The $1.2 trillion figure comes from including additional funding normally allocated each year for highways and other infrastructure projects. The new spending consists of:


$110 billion for roads and bridges. In addition to construction and repair, the funding also helps pay for transportation research at universities, funding for Puerto Rico’s highways, and “congestion relief” in American cities.



$66 billion for railroads. Funding includes upgrades and maintenance of America’s passenger rail system and freight rail safety, but nothing for high-speed rail.


$65 billion for the power grid. The bill would fund updates to power lines and cables, as well as provide money to prevent hacking of the power grid. Clean energy funding is also included.


$65 billion for broadband. Includes funding to expand broadband in rural areas and in low-income communities. Approximately $14 billion of the total would help reduce Internet bills for low-income citizens.


$55 billion for water infrastructure. This funding includes $15 billion for lead pipe replacement, $10 billion for chemical cleanup, and money to provide clean drinking water in tribal communities.


$47 billion for cybersecurity and climate change. The Resilience Fund will protect infrastructure from cybersecurity attacks and address flooding, wildfires, coastal erosion, and droughts along with other extreme weather events.


$39 billion for public transit. Funding here provides for upgrades to public transit systems nationwide. The allocation also includes money to create new bus routes and help make public transit more accessible to seniors and disabled Americans.


$25 billion for airports. This allocation provides funding for major upgrades and expansions at U.S. airports. Air traffic control towers and systems would receive $5 billion of the total for upgrades.


$21 billion for the environment. These monies would be used to clean up superfund and brownfield sites, abandoned mines, and old oil and gas wells.


$17 billion for ports. Half of the funds in this category would go to the Army Corps of Engineers for port infrastructure. Additional funds would go to the Coast Guard, ferry terminals, and reduction of truck emissions at ports.


$11 billion for safety. Appropriations here are to address highway, pedestrian, pipeline, and other safety areas with highway safety getting the bulk of the funding.


$8 billion for western water infrastructure. Ongoing drought conditions in the western half of the country will be addressed through investments in water treatment, storage, and reuse facilities.


$7.5 bill for electric vehicle charging stations. The Biden administration asked for this funding to build significantly more charging stations for electric vehicles across the nation.


$7.5 billion for electric school buses. With an emphasis on bus fleet replacement in low-income, rural, and tribal communities, this funding is expected to allow those communities to convert to zero-emission buses.

Congress debated multiple trillion-dollar infrastructure proposals in 2021. What did they include and where do they go from here?

[JimH52]

"Brandon" done good...huh?

 

[HenryBHough]

Ah yes! "Shovel Ready". Did anyone here seen any of Obama's "shovel ready" projects completed?

Does anyone believe more than about 10% of the trillion will actually be spent on "infrastructure"?

If so, please contact me immediately. You have far too much money and it's only FAIR that you share it with me.
