Biden's 'infrastructure' plan is a Washington power grab

When President Joe Biden recently announced a $2.3 trillion spending plan, on the heels of the nearly $2 trillion bailout bill enacted in March, some Democrats in Washington complained. Their complaints: The price tag was not big enough, and the Washington power grab was not ambitious enough....

...Less than 6% of Biden’s $2.3 trillion plan goes toward roads and bridges. Less than 2% goes to upgrade and repair America’s waterways, lakes, dams, ports, and airports. And while the Biden administration likes to cite expanding broadband as a priority, an idea that has bipartisan support, the administration devotes less than 5% of funding to it. In fact, the president’s plan would spend 74% more on subsidies for electric vehicles than for broadband.

Noninfrastructure items make up most of the plan ...The Biden administration might try to sell its plan as roads, bridges, and broadband, but the numbers do not lie.

Power grab? They already have the power. They are trying to keep it forever . That never works out well. How many years did the thousand year Reich last?

Pelosi put a spin on the Biden’s infrastructure plan her BS translation was it’s a human infrastructure plan.
And it’s not in a good way.

Odd how no leaks come from the WH now a democrat is in it the swamp rats are in fat city now.
