Washington— When President Joe Biden first announced the framework he’d reached with a bipartisan group of senators for a big infrastructure bill, he said it meant more than building roads and bridges.Agreement, he said two months ago, would send a signal “to ourselves and to the world that American democracy can deliver.”The senators who led the legislation to passage Tuesday agreed. “We all knew that, quite honestly, that the world was watching,” said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. Approved on an overwhelming 69-30 vote, the nearly $1 trillion package would boost federal spending for major improvements of roads, bridges, internet access

As an American, I could care less what the rest of the world thinks. I've been to the rest of the world. If you think its bad here, you need to get out more often.

Lots of Americans are watching and getting angrier by the day.

Pure puff piece. When you add up all the billions of dollars that the liberal media has been touting as being appropriated for legitimate infrastructure in that trillion dollar bill, there are a lot of other missing billions that they did not speak about, so as they say the devil is in the details, you can bet the the leftist and socialist Democrats will be using those billions to move forward on a lot of unannounced leftist and socialist objectives.

I remember Trump begging and pleading for four billion for the wall. Dems called it too expensive. 1 trillion is a thousand billion. Not kidding. Google it. Each billion is a thousand million. I wouldn't lie to ya.

Every time I read anything from the Associated Press, my blood boils. They lie constantly and make sure the Democrats are perfect, and the Republicans are evil. Get a real job, Lisa.

The point here is not whether you CAN deliver, it's WHAT you're delivering. Even worse, this steaming pile of legislative rubbish is coming to us COD. Not only can we not pay for it, we don't want it and would refuse delivery if we could. You people are garbage.

I had a sense ... but it was the scent of a foul odor eminating from the Swamp.
Gee, this is gonna rank right up there with the Declaration of Independence, the Constitutional Convention, the great Slavery debates, and Civil Rights laws of the 60s. The Biden Boondoggle and Hunter Profitability Act of 2021. It'll be in all the history books.
