Senator Expects Ups And Downs, But Predicts Infrastructure Will Get Done

[claudermiller]

I have a feeling the bill has been whittled down to just enough money for to reward the political donors of both parties.
That's usually what "bipartisanship" means in the US Congress.

*I live in Bulgaria* - to keep up with our level of infrastructure spending [$160 billion / 10 y] you guys need to spend *$6.8 Trillion* over the next 10 years, not a mealy $1.2T

And we have been spending at this rate for 10 years, so you need to spend ANOTHER $6.8 trillion on top of that.
JUST TO KEEP UP WITH THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE EU... You guys are just going to turn into a 3rd world country.

Why are they all patting themselves on the back over this?? It's Nothing but compromise.

[MrJames]

How exactly does this compromise pay for the spending (knowing that taxes aren't being raised on the wealthy)?

[newoldvideos]

Exactly, if corporations paid their fair share of taxes like the little guy does, we wouldnt have these fights over how to pay for these NEEDED improvements..

[CycloneGU]

The building collapse will leave Republicans without a play here. Failing to approve infrastructure improvements will have consequences after this. However, I'm not sure buildings are part of it. Bridges and such are. Not privately owned buildings.

[stephenhenion]

All the Clowns in Congress need to get along BETTER!!!! JUST SAYING

[impliedlines]

This infrastructure plan is not good enough! Do better!

[JoSeF...]

Why is this magnet sticking to my raw chicken?

[t.r.campbell]

Let’s spend the money we already have in the federal highway trust fund. When last we looked there was anywhere from $40 billion-$70 billion in the federal highway trust fund. It’s hard to get an honest answer as to how much money is in this fund. However, before we spend new money let’s spend the money we already have allocated for the repair in building of roads and bridges.

our disabled, elderly and our veterans are suffering badly i'm an elderly disabled veteran 62 years old homeless living in my 93 ford areostar even with all the help for me it's stolen by VA employees and the VA contractors they just take taxpayer money and find ways not to help veterans or just down right scam us

[MGarrette]

Prepare for Regressive Taxation, because this will not be paid for by the Rich class, so payments fall to who??

[dugsoif]

This what overall "WE THE PEOPLE" want, so why is there any disagreement at all? Hello? Isn't it all about "WE THE PEOPLE"?

[rgwak]

The GQP won't even allow a debate about voter rights. And Dems still think they can work with them? End the filibuster, for the People!

[pacospete]

Has Harris invited Cruz to accompany her on the " infrastructure " tour of the border ?

[Tessmage_Tessera]

"Senator Predicts the Senate Might Actually Do Their Jobs" should be the title.

[rickblackburn]

Hey that's our money they're misspending.

[williamHmusic]

STILL totally avoiding the story on Trump and Obama's former physician's both urging Biden to take a cognitive test 😳

[cultureal]

Thank you Potus Biden for Uniting Americans on INFRASTRUCTURE as you Promised!

[dominickjvlogs]

But republicans want us to subsidize coal 😭🙈
