This is a transportation bill, not an education bill. The context is we are sacrificing 21st century infrastructure - things like high speed rail in exchange to payments to various special interests.
China owns the future with respect to infrastructure. The high speed rail system they created is absolutely amazing, I had the personal privilege to ride the Shanghai to Beijing route speeding in luxury at 300mph. In 10 years, the same time span the United States created 30 miles of High speed rail, they created 16,000 miles.
The Biden plan is a huge loser, and solidifies the United States role as a corrupt country with a depleted infrastructure - arguing about political language rather than building anything at all.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> This is a transportation bill No, its an infrastructure bill. Infrastructure is more than transportation.
- justinzollars 6y agoThe effects would be the same if we printed the money, put it on our books, and lit it on fire. We aren't getting anything for this debt. But some special interests will get personally rich.
- stouset 6y agoAre you really so intent on ignoring the stated facts in front of you that this bill funds actual physical infrastructure and is not simply being lit on fire?
- justinzollars 6y agoYes. The Government fails at everything it sets out to do. For example, in San Francisco we spend $61,000 for each homeless tent. Homelessness is exploding. If you haven't noticed, our entire system isn't working. We have massive inequality, race riots, and if you read any polls no one trusts any institution. I do not believe we will get anything for that money. I'm completely skeptical of our failing system; all of the money will line the pockets of politically connected groups. If anything gets build at all I would be amazed. Also the plan lacks vision. If you have all the cards, why not go big? It just looks stingy. No high speed rail for you.
