Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., on Sunday defended a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure proposal as crucial to heartland states, pushing back at criticism that the plan fails to address border security.
In an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Cramer argued the infrastructure addresses “the movement of goods.”
“This compromise of the $1.2 trillion [bill]… over a third of it is not just infrastructure,” he maintained. “It's roads and bridges specifically. In addition to that, there's ports, waterways, railroads, airports, broadband, all of which are critical to the movement of goods and services around the country and around the world.”
“We couldn't get North Dakota soybeans to South Korea if we didn't have ports in the … Pacific Northwest and we certainly couldn't get pasta in New York without trucks getting the wheat from the field to the bins and then off to the mills and the factories,” he said.
Pressed on why there was no money in the bill for border security, Cramer refuted the host’s assertion that his view of the bill was wrong.

Can’t some Capitol Police Officer just take him out back and Che him [all Babbit like]?
[Babitt...]
Yup, let's just get it over with and see what happens. Nothing will happen. I don't care how many own weapons and talk of a new revolution. All they do is talk on websites. No one has the cojones to go first even with a clandestine group behind them (think Swamp Rats). Hell, I get crap for suggesting the infiltration of BLM/Antifa types. If I was just 20 years younger...but then, I'd probably be in jail.
I'm starting to wonder why I spent 11 years in the Navy during the Cold War to assure Americans AND the world of peace, liberty, and prosperity. Worse, the countless deaths and maimed in our pointless wars.
I give up on this dystopian America. Hope it implodes as it's heading and takes ALL the clueless lib/soc/commies with it. Thinking of ignoring politics and just enjoying these last years with my wife and doggie. F*ck it all.
Where do I go to buy a lifetime supply of fuel at today’s dollar$?
Trump can’t, only the voters of his state can and they need to take out Amnesty Senator Hoeven in 2022.
Cramer isn’t up again until 2024.
This is Obamacare all over again. Dems will ram it through knowing the Wall Street bribed GOP has no interest in ever rolling it back. In fact they are looking forward to more government spending and the pork they can dole out.
Typical Libs:
First, let’s destroy small states’ economies (e.g. ND by cancelling the Keystone pipeline).
Then, let’s bribe their politicians by dumping “pity pork” on their wrecked states.
Thinking of ignoring politics and just enjoying these last years with my wife and doggie. F*ck it all.
I think his term ends in 2025.
He’ll become a “severe conservative” in 2024. One year prior to his reelection.
Should be asked why he supports this

His term does end January 2025, he has to run for re-election 2024.
ALL Bush League Republicans need to be replaced in the primary.

I’ll bet he hasn’t read the bill, will vote for it and then be “shocked” to learn of all of the pork.
His response is “you have to compromise” . He said he is not a king and we have Dem Congress and WH
He’s a total wimp...
Second your post.
Pathetic attemp at defending his vote. He came across like a petulant child.
A kleptocracy cannot survive without theft—so the Senator is correct!
Squandering money isn’t good for the country
These people make it sound like the US has a road system worse than the one in Afghanistan.
Good Lord. They just landed A10s on a state highway in Michigan during a training exercise.
Hasn’t it already been determined that only about 15% goes to infrastructure while the rest is all special interest payoffs?
