I don't think that's the word you're looking for. Anyway this bill will likely to the route of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Wasn't THAT supposed to fix our infrastructure? What happened??
Big Blitz Posted May 10, 2021 Author Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) This continues thru the year bc Blue States are going to need an even bigger bailout in Jan 2022. They still aren't "open." And the gaps they used to survive this year were all Federal Dollars. That isn't going to change. And long term as I've been saying for months.....good luck getting anyone to invest in brick and mortal deep blue holes where 1. You can be shutdown indefinitely for the flu 2. When "peaceful protests" happen, to hell with protecting your investment; they've already said "they're just buildings." 3. Standard of living rapidly descending into unsustainable, violent, and hey to keep y'all safe we're going to defund the police! The exodus is going to be like nothing we've seen since the dust bowl or Reconstruction. Edited May 10, 2021 by Big Blitz 1

Do you recall what McConnell’s one stated goal was at that time?

Of course corn is used in hundreds of different products we buy at the grocery store, and so everyone is going to feel the pain of this price increase. But it isn’t just the price of corn that is going crazy. We are seeing food prices shoot up dramatically all across the industry, and experts are warning that this is just the very beginning. So if you think that food prices are bad now, just wait, because they are going to get a whole lot worse. https://markets.financialcontent.com/stocks/news/read/41316443/what_will_you_do_when_inflation_forces_u.s._households_to_spend_40_percent_of_their_incomes_on_food?

A bill was finally passed in 2015 that gave around 300 billion over a 5 year period. That after as you point out McConnell saying in Obama’s first term that his only goal was to make Obama a one term president. And now his goal is to block anything Biden wants. We need to get back to actual negotiation and compromise between parties. I am in favor of a more limited bill than what Biden proposes but more than Caputo wants. Civil engineers tell us our roads and bridges are in dire straits, we should never have water like we have in Flint, ports and airports are in rough shape. And access to broadband is needed in our rural areas. Focus on those. Edited May 10, 2021 by oldmanfan

Focus on those. i agree with this. the problem always comes down to the earmarks and pet projects. if you propose a straight forward act that addresses the issue then its pretty hard to attack but both sides always add in the bonuses and the other side says THIS is why it should be blocked. people on both sides need to demand all the outside stuff stays out. address it independently and stop hiding it in bills so things can actually get accomplished. but thats rarley the objective it seems.

B-Man Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Literally all the basics are becoming wildly expensive Biden keeps inflation and borrowing. Trump was scarcely better in this regard but at least he had real growth. Oh and I think it’s totally intentional, not incompetency.
T master Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Even though a lot of this cane contributed to the over hyping and none common sense reaction to the virus some of it can be directly attributed to the politicians that run the country . There have been a couple of moves recently that have shown little to no fore thought or common sense put into moves made such as promising making it easier to come to the US which directly caused the border crisis !! Then giving money to those not effected by the pandemic plus to some point extending unemployment benefits in general if Americans don't have to get off their ass they won't so by giving them incentive to stay home hasn't & won't help getting people back to work . Kind of like the way wel fare is set up 🤔 why work if big brother willingly & continually gives you stuff and makes it so easy to fleece the system ! No too mention how many votes that brings in ...
