Kicking off 2023 by Celebrating a Bipartisan Achievement

[schmidlap]

The U.S. has been increasingly desperate for major infrastructure repair for decades.

H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act​

​

President Joe Biden will join Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a Wednesday event in Kentucky aimed at highlighting the effects of the $1 trillion 2021 infrastructure bill, a White House official said Sunday.​

​

The pair, along with Republican Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Democratic Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, are to appear at a ceremony highlighting the $1.64 billion in funding awarded to for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project connecting the two states across the Ohio River.​

​

Then President Barack Obama visited the crossing in 2011 and urged Congress to pass a jobs bill costing billions of dollars that he said could include rebuilding the bridge, which by then had already been declared functionally obsolete.​

​

Trump backed funding for the project, but he failed during his four years in office to secure money for it or to pass the big infrastructure bill he repeatedly promised.​

​

The 2021 infrastructure law includes $27 billion over five years to fix and replace thousands of aging U.S. bridges.​

Still can’t believe how many Republicans voted against a universally popular bill like infrastructure

 

[gipper]

A government that has spent multiple trillions of dollars over the past two decades still needs to spend money on infrastructure, should tell you something.

Where did all those trillions go?

 

[pknopp]

Will they note how they didn't bother to pay for this?

 

[pknopp]

We could all be living the Jetsons lifestyle by now if not for the money wasted in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Ukraine, etc.

Don't you know?......"Shovel Ready" meant shoveling kickbacks into the Uniparty's coffers.

Very believable.

Republicans have contempt for sound, responsible governance.

The right’s unwarranted, baseless opposition to the legislation was motivated by pure partisanism, to deny President Biden a legislative win.

I distrust them both with almost equal enthusiasm.

How many of these projects are on FEDERAL roads? Any spending on acproject that is not on a FEDERAL road/bridge/building is unconstitutional.

Politicial jargon translated for you.........

Infrastructure = more tax money bilked from small businesses to support corporations and their personal bank accounts.

And to their corporate donors. The MIC and billionaires made out like bandits. All at the expense of the American people, yet they haven’t figured out the scam being perpetrated on them.

Billions of dollars of meaningful projects have been identified

 

[rightwinger]

Of course it is not
Federal investment in states infrastructure has gone on for generations

NEVER found to be unconstitutional

Your advocacy for allowing America's crumbling infrastructure to further deteriorate is noted.

If it didn’t have lots of pork, it would have gotten more votes. It is really dishonest to say either party is against a specific issues when the bill was dealing in lots of other issues, mainly pork.

Don't ask the Pentagon, they must have funded a secret Moonbase with their unaccounted trillions

And what are you going to do about it?

Is it too late to undo Eisenhower's Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956?

What was wrong with conestoga wagons anyway?
