"Instead of seeking bipartisan solutions, this bill adds $1.5 trillion to the nation’s debt and disguises a heavy-handed and unworkable Green New Deal regime of new requirements as an ‘infrastructure bill,’” said Missouri Rep. Sam Graves, the top Republican on the transportation panel.
The White House promised a veto if the measure reaches the president's desk. In a statement this week, the White House said the bill “is heavily biased against rural America,'' is based on debt financing and ”fails to tackle the issue of unnecessary permitting delays" that have long impeded infrastructure projects.
The centerpiece of the House legislation is a nearly $500 billion, 5-year surface transportation plan for roads, bridges and railways. The White House said in its veto threat that the proposal is “heavily skewed toward programs that would disproportionately benefit America’s urban areas." The bill would divert money from the Highway Trust Fund to transit and rail projects that “have seen declining market shares in recent years,” the White House statement said.
Let’s Go🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
lmnysf So they approve a $trillion for infrastructure while we all go broke because flunemployment is ending after 13 weeks. CaresAct money dries up in 3 weeks. Sure go on your Recess before giving us any hope. HouseofRepsPH SenateDems SenateGOP VoteBlueNoMatterWho
There is dire need for the infrastructure of America to be rebuilt in the ticket Fort should go on the corporations and monopolies because they overwhelmingly use infrastructure more than citizens... and they just put it in their profit.🤑🤑🤑🤑
Is it infrastructure week again? 😯
You mean the politicians are actually going to do some work? Maybe earn their ridiculous salaries!! 🙄
Where tf they get all this money from? Ain’t we debt?
So in other words the swamp creatures are running out of oxygen in the swamp? DRAIN IT!
Is that Pelosi? Damn, she low-key lookin T H I C C
Thank Moscow Mitch
Trump wins. The people that own him, who put him there, win. a. NRA Gun Sales highest year earnings ever b. Russian geopolitical position strengthened c. Billions of unchecked monies to his donor companies d. Trump properties fully occupied e. Jared and Ivanka 80 Million richer
Sent it to Senate where it promptly went into McConnell's circular file along with the 350+ other bipartisan bills the House has passed?
and it will remain on Mitch McConnell's test he will not bring it up for a vote in the Senate out of fear it might pass
Abortion is how Democrats keep the black population under control. See for yourself:
Cuz lets bring the national debt up to $28T, what are our leaders doing?!
This should have been done 30 years ago. Now we are so poor 😢, can we still afford it 😂.
Transportation system more especially. Build Speed train across the US
This people just find a way to get Fake money to spend out of thin air, no other country in this world could ever do that.
TeahCartel Can I just say I hope I look like SpeakerPelosi when I’m 80!!! She’s freaking hot....I mean come on!!!
AceVentura RogerProdacter Einhorn is Pelosi ... Pelosi is Einhorn RayFinkle ScoobyDooMystery LacesOut CryingGame - CaptainWinky
They should’ve passed this YEARS AGO! But it’s all about destruction in our country with the Dem’s Mob!
Does this mean Blue Metro areas will no longer look like 3rd world countries or nah?
It's been many months since 🍄rump was going to show us his plan for a $2T infrastructure rebuild. What makes you think it will happen now?
Joke, going nooo where
Our rural communities need better internet infrastructure especially w/ COVID19 and the increased need for telehealth and schools need improvements as well. Let’s show our healthcare workers and teachers how much we value them. Let’s make something happen Washington.
Hopefully new prisons and lots of them.
We saw the crap Dems put in the stimulus bill. We'll find out from the real media if there's any garbage in this bill.
What happened to Obama 'shovel ready' billions.
وسوسه انگیز
If she didnt have a super bra would those things drag on the ground?
Great! So when ppl lose their homes due to unemployment we will have nice new bridges to sleep under. To bad we won’t have a mailbox for post office to drop off mail anymore. readtheroom
I'm confused where Republican's get off on calling us the do-nothing Democrats
Does this mean Infrastructure Week us back on? I’m not sure our nerves can take it.
Too much pork by dems. They wrote it knowing it would never pass the Senate.
about time.
Unless realDonaldTrump is removed from office, America doesn’t stand a chance to being rebuilt!
Finally - Infrastructure Week!
Awesome
Can we now focus on getting the next relief Bill passed for all of us who need another stimulus and extension of the $600 ?
MichelleLiTV Fed is going to have to work overtime
DemocratsUp WONDER if this time if they agreed on the money ONLY IF they can have STRICT oversight on where the money goes !!!!!!!! Instead of them GOP hiding $500 billion on where it went !?! Democrats need to WISE UP on the purse strings which Congress controls !!! Also........
Funny how TRUMP HAS been talking about fixing the infrastructure of our country for years now that you Dems refuse to work with him on but you sure love to steel people's idea's and call them your own just like the police reform bill from a BLACK Senator. YOU ARE RACIST THIEVES
The gutless wonder Moscow Mitch and the party of NO needs to go. VOTE THEM OUT BECAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
Read the article. There is a TON in the bill that had NOTHING to do with infrastructure. Pelosi and her failing wish list again. I ams sick of her.
I thought infrastructure week was two weeks from now 🙄
Will someone buy Pelosi a decent bra?
I’ll be watching for the explanation of why throwing incomprehensible amounts of money at corrupt administration that rejects transparency and refuses honest oversight by anyone... is good.
MSNBC anchors are so dramatic!! Joy acting like flying the confederate is something new!! She needs to the South you will see it a lot!!! It’s the White pride flag...
Onto the senate to die under MoscowMitch
Okay all you Dem’s who body shame Trump - let’s hear what you have to say about Nancy in her too tight dress, with bulges everywhere. Do I think body shaming is a good thing - no. But the Dem do it daily with Trump, so fair is fair
Wow! Look at Nancy!!
Yippee!! This will definitely help the 40 million out of work Americans surviving on only 1200 bucks for 3 mintha not get evicted at the end of the month!
From Pelosi you can tell the mask is a cool thing to do because other people are doing it. She even has a color coordinated one every day.
$6 trillion for corporations and wall street - ok! $293 billion for American families - too much. $1.5 trillion for infrastructure - too much. I personally think it's all too much. But to give so much corporate welfare and screw the people will lead to a communist revolution.
What about the crumbling congress
Just enough to fix what the leftist burned down
The POTUS, Nancy Pelosi, is still trying to help Americans survive the Dt and Gop extermination plan.
Again the Dems. try to get infrastructure repaired, again, the GOP will block this bill too.
Congress needs to fund local/state government and education so schools can open safely in the fall
Better read it cover to cover first. Pelosi has a habit of adding shit for illegals
More money less oversight. GOP loves that
Current potus will hold largest deficit on record after this. Possibly prior.
I wonder how much left wing lunacy is involved.
That's money what could go towards building or border wall where the horde of rapist and murders and gathered!!
America is crumbling under Trump. We need this for future generations.
