Of the $1.2 trillion, less than half ($550 billion) is even intended for infrastructure at all. Of the $550 billion, only $110 billion is for actual roads, bridges, and major infrastructure projects. That we have to spend $1.2 trillion to get $110 billion in possible improvements is exactly why our infrastructure is in terrible shape, and still will be in terrible shape after this grift is distributed. The infrastructure bill just highlights the problem, and puts us further into debt.

- ineedasername 5y agoSee my sibling comment-- it is actually all infrastructure, there's some idiosyncracy over how previous plans are only now being funded.
- ineedasername 5y agoNo, it's all infrastructure. The rest of the money is funding previously authorized plans. I'm not sure why that bill was necessary to find them separately from the original auhorization, but it's all still infrastructure. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanponciano/2021/11/15/everything-in-the-12-trillion-infrastructure-bill-biden-just-signed-new-roads-electric-school-buses-and-more/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanpo...
