Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
President Biden on Monday plans to sign the long-stalled $1.2 trillion infrastructure package into law, an integral part of his economic agenda and the largest investment in the nation's crumbling roads and bridges in decades.
The bill includes more than $500 billion in new spending that will be invested in "core" infrastructure projects such as roads, broadband internet and electric utilities over the next eight years. The White House has billed the measure as a "once-in-a-generation investment" and has projected that it will create 2 million new jobsComment

Working Americans (not those on welfare and food stamps) long for the good old days of the Trump economy. He had it going on. People of color benefited the most.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
I've warned of the pain that is coming down the Biden pipeline. This so-called Build Back Better Bill won't help one iota. In fact, the opposite is true. It will cause inflation to go higher, job growth will become stagnant and energy prices will cripple the poor and working class.
Joe and the liberal squad have no idea what they're doing. They will not listen to reason.
Even Obama's top people have begged Joe to stop what he's doing. Read this:

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Here's what's in the infrastructure package:
Funding for roads and bridges
The legislation calls for investing $110 billion for roads, bridges and major infrastructure projects. That's significantly less than the $159 billion that Biden initially requested in the American Jobs Plan.
Included is $40 billion for bridge repair, replacement and rehabilitation, according to the text. The White House says it would be the single, largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system, which started in the 1950s.
The deal also contains $16 billion for major projects that would be too large or complex for traditional funding programs, according to the White House.
RELATED: Here's how Biden's infrastructure plan would impact key areas of American life
Some 20%, or 173,000 miles, of the nation's highways and major roads are in poor condition, as are 45,000 bridges, according to the White House.
The investments will focus on climate change mitigation, resilience, equity and safety for all users, including cyclists and pedestrians.
Also in the package is $11 billion for transportation safety, including a program to help states and localities reduce crashes and fatalities, especially of cyclists and pedestrians, according to the White House. It will direct funding for safety efforts involving highways, trucks, and pipeline and hazardous materials.
And it contains $1 billion to reconnect communities -- mainly disproportionately Black neighborhoods -- that were divided by highways and other infrastructure, according to the White House. It will fund planning, design, demolition and reconstruction of street grids, parks or other infrastructure.Comment
