No new taxes and we have a way to pay for it translates to the little guy is getting screwed. Again,
Note to Joe Biden and the Democrats. While the infrastructure plan will create new jobs not everyone will be able to or want to do them. What about them?

So are at least the Republicans that negotiated this compromise bill going to show up and vote for it? Or are they Lucy holding the football for Charlie aka President Biden, and as like many times before remove the football at the last second and vote no?
I guess time will tell.

It will interesting to see what he has to say. What was removed and how it will be paid for.

Left over Covid relief $$$ from last year. Should we thank the anti-vaxxers? 🙄

I love it when politicians say their plans are going to create jobs, especially when they claim ‘millions’. Such bull. They always make it sound like all these so called new jobs are going to happen as soon as a signature hits the bill when in reality these projects and the money allocated to them will take years. Reminiscent of Obama’s shovel ready jobs that for the most part never happened.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they finally came to some agreement since infrastructure has been sorely overlooked for years, I’m just not buying the hype about millions of jobs.

I’m just not buying the hype about millions of jobs. I'm not buying the hype either. However, I also wasn't buying the hype about the Keystone XL Pipeline. And it seems there's a lot of people who keep using that as an argument on one particular side of the fence.

Lol. We can’t fill the jobs we have. Good luck filling millions more of them! (All the Keystone people who lose jobs can maybe take some of those service industry jobs going unfilled. Watch the GOP suddenly become in favor of raising the minimum wage and enacting regulations that require reasonable and consistent schedules if that happens.)

I don’t think you understand the pipeline and cancellation. Jobs may have been lost, but construction workers had not yet been hired, the job loss was only expected jobs. And the vast majority of those jobs, only around 2,000 in Wisconsin, would have been temporary.

Jobs may have been lost, but construction workers had not yet been hired, the job loss was only expected jobs. And the vast majority of those jobs, only around 2,000 in Wisconsin, would have been temporary. 1,000 workers were let go within days. TC Energy Corp estimated that the pipeline would have created approximately 11,000 jobs. Yes, they would have been temporary but it was still a job.

It would appear one of the conditions of a bipartisan plan for infrastructure would be it, no other bills would be allowed by the Republicans.

Republicans touted keystone as 20,000+ jobs to push their bullshit through. And supposedly “high paying jobs”. And of course it was a bit fat lie. They were lucky to even have close to 2,000 permanent jobs—the majority of them were only meant to be temporary. And yes, jobs were lost closing down pipeline, but it wasn’t anything close to what republicans were crying about. in fact, jobs are lost when businesses shut down—at least democrats will agree and acknowledge that—unlike most trumplicans.

TC Energy Corp estimated that the pipeline would have created approximately 11,000 jobs. Yes, they would have been temporary but it was still a job. And their estimates were found to be bullshit lies. These are the facts about the keystone jobs: “Will the pipeline create jobs? The oil industry has lobbied hard to get KXL built by using false claims, political arm-twisting, and big bucks. When TC Energy said the pipeline would create nearly 119,000 jobs, a State Department report instead concluded the project would require fewer than 2,000 two-year construction jobs and that the number of jobs would hover around 35 after construction.”

Today the bipartisan group of Senators agreed on an infrastructure plan. Tonight the Senate voted to start debate on the bill.
From former…
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America 07/28/21
Hard to believe our Senate Republicans are dealing with the Radical Left Democrats in making a so-called bipartisan bill on “infrastructure,” with our negotiators headed up by SUPER RINO Mitt Romney. This will be a victory for the Biden Administration and Democrats, and will be heavily used in the 2022 election. It is a loser for the USA, a terrible deal, and makes the Republicans look weak, foolish, and dumb. It shouldn’t be done. It sets an easy glidepath for Dems to then get beyond what anyone thought was possible in future legislation. It will be a continued destruction of our Country. Our Borders are horrible, crime is at an all time high, taxes and inflation are going way up, the economy is going way down, and now this. Don’t do it Republicans—Patriots will never forget! If this deal happens, lots of primaries will be coming your way!“
Keep in mind this was released yesterday so he has absolutely no clue what is in the bill. But in his mind “it’s a loser for America.”

But in his mind “it’s a loser for America.” Sounds exactly like him. The details and the facts are not important. His general formula for statements - threaten to primary Republicans, throw in at least 1 insult or call someone a name, refer to Democrats as the radical left and use some of his favorite and most frequently used words - loser, terrible, horrible, weak and dumb. The only surprises - he used the word glidepath and didn't try to take credit for the pre-Covid economy.
