President Joe Biden speaks with the Interstate 10 Calcasieu River Bridge behind him, Thursday, May 6, 2021, in Lake Charles, La.
Even as he engages with Republicans in Washington, Biden is trying to sell their voters on the idea that higher corporate taxes can provide $115 billion for roads and bridges and hundreds of billions of dollars more to upgrade America’s electrical grid, make the water system safer, rebuild homes and jump-start the manufacturing of electric vehicles. To drive home the point, he also toured a water plant in New Orleans.
“I find more support from Republican governors and mayors and Democratic governors and mayors around the country,” Biden said, “because they’ve got to answer the question: Is life better in this town, this city, this state than it was before I got elected?” Several GOP senators favor spending $568 billion on infrastructure over five years, a small fraction of what the Democratic president has proposed — a sign of how difficult a deal might be.
If he isn't increasing tax rates then where is that money coming from? He isn't cutting spending. So he's printing money. Other countries, especially Asian ones, have started reacting to this. Could be the beginning of the end for the dollar.
Makes sense. Better spend these dollars before they become worthless. Bridges are much more useful.
Not a pleasant view from his vantage point I’m sure.I like to hear his assessment “They after me lucky charms” 🌈💰 Silly kids the Trick is on you follow the leader 🐍 🐍 🐛 Contradict everything What a sorry shame If only Christ would come down and smoke us all but not like him
Perhaps Senator Kennedy could have Stacey Abrams explain how crappy bridges in his state could get fixed with this Infrastructure Bill?
A badly aged man infront of a badly aged bridge.😂
Maybe he needs to create an infrastructure plan that is just for things like bridges, roads, ports and broadband instead of what this plan is.
Why didn't he care 25 years ago? Most of the 'Infrastructure' was built 60+ years ago. Little RENOVATION has been done to keep it operational, but now even the BAND AIDS cant be covered. Some BRIDGES are SO BAD, they have holes that can only be seen from underneath. Look up once
Never compromise with the Repubs. Give em an inch, they’ll take a mile.
We just want to spend the money - we don’t give a shit how to pay for it!
Moscow Mitch already vowed Republicans won't pass the infrastructure bill. POTUS has no need to compromise.
Everyone want bridges and highways repaired. The concern is all off the other things lumped into infrastructure bill. Should we borrow money to pay for ALL of it?
A $trillion here, a $trillion there, pretty soon we're talkin' real money! Might have to buy a new printing press and put on another shift.
They will never vote for anything Biden wants- we already know it, McConnell already said it.The sooner Manchin/Sinema acknowledge that, the better. NFW GOP will approve even after they 'agree' to a negotiated smaller bill. Just deflecting, wasting time. ManchinMustPickASide
The bridge just has a stutter.
