Here's What's In President Biden's $2 Trillion Infrastructure Proposal

“ President Biden on Wednesday will unveil a sprawling, ambitious infrastructure proposal that, if enacted, would overhaul how Americans get from Point A to Point B, how their electricity is generated, the speed of their Internet connections, the quality of their water and the physical makeup of their children's schools.

The measure, called the American Jobs Plan, includes big infrastructure fixes that both major parties — as well as a majority of Americans — consistently say they want to see, including upgrades to bridges, broadband and buildings.


$115 billion to repair and rebuild bridges, highways and roads;
$100 billion to expand high-speed broadband across the entire country;
$100 billion to upgrade and build new schools;
and $100 billion to expand and improve power lines and spur a shift to clean energy.
Embedded within the plan are efforts to build out U.S. clean energy infrastructure that, by itself, would rank as one of the most ambitious initiatives ever by the federal government to lower the country's greenhouse gas emissions, along with efforts to address racial inequalities and advance the U.S. economy to compete with China.”

I hope Joe can ram this through

So... the Democrat-Bolsheviks a week ago hosed away $2 trillion on a "Covid relief bill" (of which less than 9% actuallly goes to Covid relief, and much of it goes to reward Democrat-Bolshevik allies, and to pay off DECADES of irresponsible debt in Democrat cities and states, that has *NOTHING* to do with the Covid crisis of the last 13 months or so). So it's essentially a slush fund to help Democrats get re-elected in 2022 and 2024.

And now they deceptively push to spend ANOTHER $2 trillion, allegedly on "infrastructure", but this is just another Trojan Horse for another drunken binge of liberal spending, mostly on "green new deal" type stuff that will crush what's left of our fossil fuel industry and make the U.S. dependent in the future on wasteful unproven "green technology", that also makes the U.S. dependent on China, who are the almost exclusive producers of the batteries and solar panels the U.S. would need to go "green". And a hostile China who could cut the U.S. off from the supplies we need at any point in the future. Look at the example of Texas completely blacked out a month ago, for what the future of all 50 states will look like in the future if the Democrat Bolsheviks succeed. Look also at the rolling brown-outs in California.

What the Democrats propose is national suicide. Spending **TRILLIONS** of dollars we don't have, that they will just print trillions more dollars to spend. And then push for trillions more in spending for whatever their next liberal wet dream nation-destroying project is.

This is reminiscent of the same pattern of huge new deficit spending in Obama's opening months as president in 2009. First the $ 750 billion "TARP bailout in late 2008", and then as soon as he was inaugurated another 800 billion "Stimulus" bill, then another $600 billion "Omnibus" bill (both of which were unnecessary and redundant to the TARP bill, and even the TARP funds just sat in banks and were not spent even 2 years later.
And even that was not enough, and Obama's administration pushed for a "Stimulus 2" bill, and when that proved unpopular and unpassable even with Democrat districts, the Democrats focus-grouped words voters would respond to, and the word the group responded to was "jobs". So of course, the deceitfully labelled their new spending bill a "Jobs Bill", and as I recall, it just faded away after that. But deceit of the American public is the only way Democrats can pass their treasonous nation-destroying ideas.

And this latest round by Obama follows the same pattern, only with even more insanely high deficit spending. Of which only about 10% of the proposed spending is actually on "Infrastructure", and the other 90% is on a Democrat grab for power, to their private-sector corporate allies, and to their leftist front groups, NGO's and Soros-funded-type activist groups. If this were exclusively for "infrastructure" that would strengthen the country, every Republican would be voting for it. That they're not tells you it's a Democrat Trojan horse and hidden true agenda project.
