    What's your biggest concern?

     Probably the same as yours would be if I posted a link as vague as this one.  And I'm not picking on you just saying that those are some pretty general numbers there.

     I didn't really find any links that I trust or were more specific than yours.

     But if I'd have posted a similar link from some site site you deemed biased I'm sure you would demand specifics.

     If you trust the people that wrote it to have eliminated every penny of bloat  I guess there's nothing in that link that pruse you wrong. Or right.

  • But regardless of posting sites nothing cites I don't trust any program run by the government to be run efficiently and without waste without graft without giveaways…

     Not the military not the United Way not the Red Cross Even though those aren't all government organizations but you get the idea. Maybe.

     The social engineering is just a side dish.

    It would absolutely be a good idea to have an infrastructure bill if it were really an infrastructure bill. Sure I know there's probably a few bucks in this slush fund that go for actual infrastructure,  Just like a penny or 2 from every dollar that goes to a crooked charity actually winds up in the hands of those it's supposed to benefit. But way way way way too much of it is driven by the gas guzzling free shit express.

    50 BILLION for global warming?

    and 21 BILLION for "environmental spending"

    duplicate much?

    just those two huge allotments end up being a slush fund that

    will buy more votes. and pay for illegals to have a free ride.

    all in the name of ..."environment" and "mmgw".

    With Passage of $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Bill ...

    The socialists' $1.75 trillion spending dream addresses a wide range of pet issues, the majority of which have zero to do with infrastructure. Buried deep in the bill are, as Just the News described, "a series of provisions which, if signed into law, would amount to a windfall for illegal immigrants."

    Human infrastructure bill gives illegal aliens $300 a month per child. At a Homeland Security committee hearing today, Senator Romney grilled DHS Secretary Mayorkas about the President's "human infrastructure bill.". As Romney said, the bill allows illegal aliens to get $300 a month, per child, by obtaining a tax ID number once they're ...

    'INFRASTRUCTURE' Bill Contains Massive Benefits For ...

    This bill allows 'parole' on a case-by-case basis for illegals in the US be applied across the board to approximately 6.8 MILLION illegals in the United States as long as they have been here since something like 2011. This gives them not only gives them PROTECTION, but work visas & STATE IDS ... which allows them to get ballots and vote.

    Cash Grab: Dem Bill Allows Tax Credits for Illegals ...

    Cash Grab: Dem Bill Allows Tax Credits for Illegals. Human infrastructure apparently also extends to illegal aliens. The Democrats' massive $3.5 trillion "human infrastructure bill" contains a provision allowing non-citizens to obtain a tax ID number, which would allow them to claim a $300 per month, per child tax credit.

    So, yeah, what you already alluded to... this is an opinion piece by a conservative think tank. Of course they don't like it.

    I figured I'd read it though and then see what sources they used for their concerns.

    Read the whole thing... No sources. No citations. Nothing. With all of the claims they're making you'd think they'd have SOMETHING to back it up.

    A lot of faulty logic too. Saying we shouldn't spend as much on public transit because less people use it. The whole point of spending money on it is to improve it and allow more people to use it. Which would reduce emissions and reduce traffic congestion.

     I think public transportation is a good idea but so far it's just usable for poor people In the city. But that aside....

     I don't think it's particularly a matter of spending X amount of money on X projects. I'm OK with public spending but I'm also smart enough to know that when you write any institutional organization a blank  check and throw in pork for everybody that signed on.. .

    Right, there's waste in anything. Waste in this bill. Waste in the military. Waste in private companies. Are you saying no money should ever be invested in anything unless there's 0 waste?

    Public transportation in other developed companies is a good example for what it could be. Turning up your nose and saying "that's for the poors" means nothing when you aren't affected.

    There's a ton of work to be done to repair, let alone upgrade, our rail system. And it is much more expensive to build modern rail stations then pave roads. 

    Do you think because there is physically more of something it should get more money?

    Do you think it costs more per mile to construct a highway or to construct high speed rail (which includes the trains and stations)?

    if you had done research, then you wouldn't have had to ask the question, woodpecker.

    You do it a lot. Trying to make yourself look superior to every and anybody else.
