Meacham: Biden Infrastructure ‘Will Rank’ in History with Eisenhower’s Highways
Breitbart ^ | 11/15/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 11/15/2021 6:46:26 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Historian and author Jon Meacham said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the infrastructure bill signed into law today by President Joe Biden “will rank” in history with former President Dwight Eisenhower’s Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 that created America’s interstate highway system.

Anchor Ari Melber said, “What you see in the sweep of history, it’s hard to get a sense of it as we go in real-time, but when we look at the numbers, how rare or infrequent it is you get this national investment. I’m curious your thoughts on where this fits in long term.”

“Trump could have done infrastructure any day of the week. Big deal.”

-”You’ve never seen infrastructure as beautiful as we would have done. Probably without a doubt perhaps the best infrastructure in history. Everyone would have loved this infrastructure. People would have driven on terrible infrastructure just to come see this infrastructure.”

As the debate over impeachment and removal unfolds, the nation’s immediate and long-term future depends on whether Americans will be guided by reason rather than passion, fact rather than faith, evidence rather than tribe.

Eisenhower’s interstate highway program wasn’t a cover for the mass theft of taxpayer money.

So there’s that difference.

A REAL infrastructure bill.

That's why it was blocked. Not enough pork in it. President Trump needed to watch "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".

When I read the MSM’s accolades for this alleged administration, I feel like I’ve been transported to one of the old Soviet bloc countries, circa 1960s.

That's because what we've got here are a bunch of formerly-young '60s and '70s "activists" -- some of them billionaires -- who probably still have Che posters on their walls and want to finally turn the country communist before they croak.

They were completely useless then, and even more useless now.

I just wonder how long these Leftists -- who as we well-know are uniformly smug, conceited, know-it-alls -- are going to let themselves be identified with the inept, embarassing, bogus Biden "Administration."

Should be fun to watch.

They will be blaming nothing getting done on Republicans and the Trumper Racists who thwarted their efforts at every turn and they’ll demand double ‘investment’ in another bill.

Meacham is a highly overrated leftist fool. Some of his history writings could be considered good but his political leftist asskissing ideology makes a lot of what he writes/says now very questionable.
