“When President Joe Biden first announced the framework he’d reached with a bipartisan group of senators for a big infrastructure bill, he said it meant more than building roads and bridges.
Agreement, he said two months ago, would send a signal “to ourselves and to the world that American democracy can deliver.”
The senators who led the legislation to passage Tuesday agreed.
“We all knew that, quite honestly, that the world was watching,” said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont.
Approved on an overwhelming 69-30 vote, the nearly $1 trillion package would boost federal spending for major improvements of roads, bridges, internet access and other public works in communities from coast to coast. The bill goes next to the House.”
America must go big now or never in making the decision to invest in our own economy. To pay for all of these massive federal outlays, we may have to start taxing billionaires because 1 man flying into space is not as important as ensuring roads, bridges and internet connectivity are sound. It just isn’t and we see China not only heavily investing in their own infrastructure but they are also investing in the backbones of developing nations as well thus greatly increasing their Global influence. We must keep up in or to lead the World.
