President Joe Biden has introduced a gargantuan spending bill ostensibly aimed at shoring up and expanding America’s crumbling infrastructure, but as usual, there are a lot of things in the measure completely unrelated to ‘infrastructure.’To be sure, the measure would spend hundreds of billions on roads, bridges, airports, and so forth. In fact, a Washington Post analysis found that the bill earmarks $650 billion for those kinds of projects.But again, that’s just $650 billion out of $2.2 trillion. So — if this is an ‘infrastructure’ spending bill, where is the other two-thirds of the money (that we don’t have) going?

Can anyone or anything stop this madness? At the rate we are going, we will outpace Venezuela on the road to destruction. The spending is insanely irresponsible, dangerously reckless but most of all unsustainable. There is only one way this ends. The democrats are knowingly and gleefully destroying the country. And then what? When our wealth is gone, our economy is shot, inflation soars, shortages appear, is it then that the purge begins? Will these radical ideologues do what every regime has done in the history of fascism and resort to violence against their own people? If they continue down this, it is a assured. They will need a scapegoat.

The dems WANT to bring the USA down. They want us on the same level as other countries. Its what they've always done. Lower standers to squander success. Whether it be education, gov't backed industry, and welfare. They want to keep the people DOWN for Control. It's so obvious its pathetic.

Cloward-Piven. Overwhelm the system in order to usher in socialism. That’s what these bills and the open border are all about.

It's been a while, but I took some rudimentary economics courses in college and none of this makes any sense if what I learned was accurate.
Printing and borrowing money without regard to receiving money through taxation in a similar amount (especially when doing so at an insane volume) will eventually create a situation similar to that faced by the Wiemar Republic of Germany after WWI when it took a wheelbarrow full of German marks to buy a loaf of bread.
And we all know what happened in Germany after that.
Dems are either stupid beyond belief or inutterably evil.

I didn't see the $20B listed in this article that is in this bill for the civilian climate change corps. Please Republicans stop this monstrosity. (But it will probably pass.)

It's no coincidence that Biden's wish list is an exact continuation of the reign of error started by the Obama/Jarrett clueless wish list. The money disappeared and the items on the wish list that actually made sense were not addressed. Make no mistake, ALL of the multi-trillion dollar thefts are going into pockets that have no interest in helping America. When are blacks going to figure out that they are being used as just an excuse to rob the entire population of America and they will be much worse off four years from now? They probably won't have long to worry because international interests are going to remove the incompetent boobs in Washington and we will be answering to another dictator quite soon.

This may be the ultimate in targeting the printed currency (folks it is NOT money, it is currency, stop calling it money. Gold is money. Silver is money. Ink and ones and zeroes are NOT money) at the phony name of the bill. A whopping one third is going towards infrastructure. In the recent 1.9 trillion relief bill, a whopping ten percent went towards relief. How proud they must be. On a more serious note, I see someone not being patriotic because they're not wearing two masks. Come on Dominioners, mask up. It's patriotic!

Just like the $1.9 Trillion American Rescue Plan, 2021 (AKA, COVID-19 Stimulus bill) contains less than 10% for COVID-19 relief. the $2.2T ‘Infrastructure’ Bill contains little for shoring up and expanding America’s crumbling infrastructure. Both bills contain huge amounts of wasteful, pork barrel spending that the public does not want.
The Democrats love to bundle their pet pork projects, toss in a token amount for something the public wants, and then pretend that all, not a token, will be spent for the desired token.

Corporations are just going to raise their wholesale and retail prices on consumers to defray their increased tax costs. Meaning that anytime consumers purchase anything they will pay a higher cost, kinda like inflation will be back, maybe even like the Carter era where interest rates topping 17%.
The Democrats always claim when they raise taxes that they are going to target their tax increases on the so-called “rich”. But that never actually never happens, because the rich through lobbying efforts always have all sorts of loopholes built into the tax laws, along with high priced tax accountants and tax lawyers who insure that their rich and famous clients actually pay the lowest amount of tax possible. So who actually pays, as always, it will be the vast, but diminishing, middle class who will pay whatever taxes the Democrats raise up, as that is where the money actually is located that the Democrats can get their hands on.
If this Biden spending bill becomes law, the vast majority of the money spent will go to leftist Democrat supporting operatives and entities to spend on and support the leftist and liberal Democrat political agenda . That’s always the way it is with the Democrats. Biden has been a corrupt liberal Democrat and “UniParty” politician in DC for almost a half a century and you have to figure that he knows all that.

‘Infrastructure’ is liberal code for ‘income redistribution’. And that’s exactly what this is. Government contracts will only go to minority owned businesses.

The plan to unleash inflation is deliberate. It is is how they will steal the value of your 401k.

Community aid for the seniors in communities? What does that mean, you'll live on your SS money in a central home for seniors. This is a large payment to get the votes. There is already a one party system in effect with this bill it will sow it up, the minorities will vote for Democrats for the next 100 years.
