US Chamber of Commerce: Trump is wrongUS Chamber: Trump is 'wrong' on infrastructure bill
“ New York (CNN Business)Former President Donald Trump has blasted the bipartisan infrastructure legislation recently passed by Congress as a "Non-Infrastructure" bill.
Trump, long an advocate for infrastructure spending, put out a statement last weekend claiming that just 11% of the $1.2 trillion package is going toward "real" infrastructure. The former president, who repeatedly tried and failed to get an infrastructure bill passed when he was in the White House, argued Republican lawmakers should be "ashamed of themselves."
Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at the US Chamber of Commerce, told CNN that Trump is "wrong."
"There is a lot of misinformation going around about this bill, including that only a small amount goes to infrastructure," Bradley said in an interview.

CNN = Democrat Orwellian Newspeak Central. It is where the truth goes to die. CNN is essentially a PR wing of the Democrat party. It wasn't always, but it sure is now.
The American people DO NOT want this or other trillion-dollar Democrat legislation and other authoritarian socialist and "social justice" legislation or executive orders.
WP POLL: BIDEN HAS ACCOMPLISHED "LITTLE OR NOTHING" IN HIS PRESIDENCY Almost half of Americans believe President Joe Biden hasn’t accomplished very much, if anything at all, during his presidency, according to a WaPo-ABC News poll released Sunday.
Of the 1,001 adults polled, 63% thought Biden had achieved “not very much” or “little or nothing” thus far, with 45% answering the latter. The figure is far greater than that of former Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at similar points in their presidencies, Politico reported.
The poll was conducted after the House passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (BIF), which devotes approximately $1.2 trillion towards improving roads, bridges, ports, waterways, rural broadband access and more over the next decade.
The poll also showed that 51% of respondents would choose Republican House candidates over Democrats in their own jurisdictions, the highest percentage for the party since the poll first asked the question 40 years ago, Politico reported. This makes the figure higher than 2014, 2010 or 1994, which were GOP wave years.

Biden’s approval rating also dropped to 41%, according to the poll results, with 53% of respondents disapproving of the president’s work while in office. More, only 31% of respondents said Biden has kept most of his campaign promises, and 70% of respondents stated that the economy was “not so good” or “poor.”
However, 63% of respondents said they supported “spending one trillion dollar” on infrastructure, and 58% supported “spending about two trillion dollars to address climate change and to create or expand preschool, health care and other social programs.” (RELATED: What Do Americans Know About The Build Back Better Act?)
BIF passed in early November after lengthy negotiations between different wings of the Democratic Party in the House. Moderate Democrats gave a written commitment that they would vote for Biden’s $1.75 trillion spending package should the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score be aligned with White House estimates.
The thirteen Republicans who voted in favor of BIF are facing intense backlash from some within the party. Six Democrats voted against the bill.
The Democrats are digging their own electoral graves by ramming through legislation the American public clearly doesn't want.
