Infrastructure Week Finally Here! House passes $1.3T bill.

Yep, a real infrastructure Bill, not the "social infrastructure" nonsense.
How much do you think the dems can spend before they lose the House next year?
Here's what's in it that the senate voted 69-31 for:
  • $110 billion for roads and bridges. More than 45,000 bridges nationwide are rated in poor condition. The bill also includes $16 billion for major projects that are too large or complex for traditional funding.
  • $66 billion for Amtrak for passenger and freight rail. The bill aims to eliminate Amtrak’s maintenance backlog and to modernize the Northeast Corridor.
  • $65 billion to expand broadband internet access. The White House estimated as many as 40 million Americans lack broadband access. Biden initially sought $100 billion.
  • $65 billion to rebuild the electric grid with renewable energy and thousands of miles of new power lines.
  • $55 billion to upgrade water systems, with a goal of replacing the country’s lead service pipes.
  • $42 billion for airports, waterways and port infrastructure. Airports would receive $25 billion.
  • $39 billion for public transit. The bill aims to repair and upgrade transit systems and make stations more accessible to elderly and passengers with disabilities.
  • $7.5 billion for charging stations for electric vehicles and $7.5 billion for electric buses.
If the US plans to go with "electric vehicles" we need a lot more electric capacity to avoid blackouts and brownouts.

i'm seeing EVS all over that are using solar panels.

0 sum grid usage.
 
This bill is going to kick things into gear.

The economy is already recovering nicely (500,000 jobs this month...over 300,000 last month and Unemployment down to 4.6%) and this will really help

Let's just hope that Manchin doesn't reneg AGAIN (he previously agreed to 3.5T is "soft infrastructure" only to know that down by 2T
polly want a fucking cracker?
all you SCUM demonRATS are good at parroting....just NO GOOD at thinking for yourselves---your mommies would be proud of the retards you are
 
I am not so sure that the Biden team couldn't pick off Romney and Murkowski if they really tried. Utah and Alaska, for example, get a shit load of money from their national parks. In 2019, the national parks in Utah contributed $1.2B. Alaska, relative to it's population, did better...$278M. Unlike many other programs, the President can expand the parks pretty much at their whim. Cedar Breaks in Utah is begging for such designation IMHO. It is designated as a National Monument but to get the "real" tourists dollars, a place needs a National Park designation (think Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon).

There are places in Alaska that seldom explored because getting there is a real pain in the neck. Making that easier would boost tourism; thus more monies.

What is really bewildering about Biden is that he's supposed to be one of the "old school" pols who come from the "scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" era... There seems to be a sad adherence to going it alone from him. If he could get this done...it would send a message to both Sinema and Mancin that they won't hold legislation hostage. It will also signal to the squad that they have some leverage but it can disappear as well.
LOL...that sack of rotting oatmeal, in the white house, doesn't have a brain---just like you shit stains of the SCUM demonRATS
