Infrastructure
Well it seems that President Biden still acts like a senator. He has propsed a senate resolution on infrastructure that has very little to do with infrastructure, or maybe as the Democrats always try to redefine all terminology to fit their agenda.
Congress is supposed to legislate resolutions and bills, but apparently they are wasting time again on the Jan 6 riots, going after our guns and pushing through the Equality Act and going after Trump again.
Someone in congress needs to step up and get the priorities straight and develop a complete resolution that encompasses all items that are real infrastructure. This is what Biden proposes:
Transportation: $621 billion
Home care services and workforce: $400 billion
Manufacturing: $300 billion
Housing: $213 billion
Research and development: $180 billion
Water: $111 billion
Schools: $100 billion
Workforce development: $100 billion
Veterans' hospitals and federal buildings: $18 billion
Well, only about 1/3 of this proposal is going to infrastructure, the rest of it is just pork interests. This is what is supposed to be addressed:
Roads, Airports, Bridges, Broadband, Canals, Coastal management, Dams, Electricity, Energy Hazardous waste, Hospitals, Irrigation schemes, Levees, Lighthouses, Parks, Gas Pipeline transport, Ports, Mass transit, Public housing, State schools, Public spaces, RailRoads, Sewage, Sluices, Solid waste, Telecommunication Utilities, Water supply, Wastewater, NASA, Satellites, Cybersecurity, Renewable energy, Chip manufacturing
The #1 priority is the electric power grid.
The resolution has to legislated by Congress, not the President.
