Republicans Bail Out Biden and Pelosi to Pass $1.2 Trillion So-Called Infrastructure Bill
🤡 Clown World 🌎
13 House Republicans voted to bail out President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) agenda and pass the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill.
The bill passed 228-206, featuring overwhelming Democrat support and some Republican support.
The 13 Republicans that reportedly voted yes on the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill are:
Reps. John Katko (R-NY)
Don Bacon (R-NE)
Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ)
Fred Upton (R-MI)
Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)
Don Young (R-AK)
Tom Reed (R-NY)
Chris Smith (R-NJ)
Andrew Garbarino (R-NY)
Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)
Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH)
Rep. David McKinley (R-WV)
While passing this infrastructure billis wrong and abhorrent, the original bill, which included the BBB Social portion and put the combined total over $4T, was separated off into its own bill. That one still has to get through Congress and has not yet passed. This is still bad, but I think if that other one passes, it will be a miracle if the USA survives.
Did the one that just passed include the mileage tax and amnesty for illegals? I’m hearing conflicting information on these points.

I know this goes against the sentiment here but we really need something to give us some better paying jobs out there. Right now, 'jobs are everywhere for the taking' and 'can't get enough workers' but they're just minimum wage, service-level entry jobs. Private companies, which are pretty limber if they are to survive, have adjusted to the work from home needs, are saving money by less overhead, and the plum jobs they had are still occupied.
If we can get to build some bridges and whatnot, perhaps we can kick start this economy a little more. Can't go by the stock market, usually a leading indicator, that thing is not based in reality right now. Lots of gamesmanship.
If we're stuck with Brandon for 3 more years, why not fix other areas right now. If we can see a reprise of Trump in a year, why not fix other areas. A lot of fellow Americans are suffering on the income side.
