So, 110 million to roads and highways, 65 billion to expand broadband, and 39b for public transport. That covers 214 billion, so where is the remaining 886 billion going.

All I want to hear is bullet trains. Need faster trains. Only developed country with a railroad system from the 1950’s

Of course politicians would vote for a bill that makes them rich. Why else would you become a politician?

He forgot to mention the real tax is in inflation. Good luck buying a house with skyrocketing prices and blackrock paying a premium on any for sale. We're at what 6% inflation and the year isn't even over. Creating an entire generation of purely renters dependent on properties owned by corporations. Devaluing the savings that people do manage to acquire, while prices on everything else continue to grow and wages remain stagnant.

This was not a victory for Americans, it is a nail in our coffin.

I wonder where all that money will be allocated, and to whom?. I imagine it'll be funneled to the highest bidder.

When a politician is happy about a bill getting passed, you know you're getting screwed. You just don't know it yet.

[kristingallo]

Make Comcast and at and t and all those other rip off companies build their own broadband.

I like how they leave out a lot of information on where the rest of the money is going. That's only about 10 percent.
Stop spending our money and our kids money it's not yours. If someone took 100 dollars out of your wallet wouldn't you be mad at them.
How about 227 thousand dollars because that's about how much money each tax payer will have to pay in order to pay off this dept.

[charliewaters]

Now break down the amounts going to cronies, pet projects, and "equity".

[flylowevo]

so where's the other 900 billion going?

[michaeld]

"Major victory in Washington "


(Aka the tax payers got screwed)

[easyrider]

We need to recall all those senators who voted for this bill full of pork.

[chrisbammer]

1.1 trillion infrastructure bill.

~200 billion actually spent on infrastructure.

The looting of your wealth continues unabated.

I doubt I'm going to notice much change on the highway.

Trillion is the new billion!
Kalergi plan)))

[ooh_Boi]

He doesn't need to raise the taxes, he'll just have the States do it.

[enceladus]

Remember when everyone complained about Trump's $15 billion border wall? That's 1.3% of this entire spending bill.

[sherrykeeney]

THIS "IS" LIKE THERES NO END TO THE MONEY!!!

[dukewellington]

Big waste of money. This will accomplish nothing but higher taxes
