Biden speaks after Senate passes $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill — 8/10/21

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris deliver remarks after the Senate passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan Tuesday, a huge step for Democrats as they try to push Biden’s sweeping economic agenda through Congress.

The legislation, which includes $550 billion in new funding for transportation, broadband and utilities, got through in a 69-30 vote, as 19 Republicans joined all 50 Democrats. The chamber in a 50-49 party line vote then proceeded to a budget resolution that would allow Democrats to approve what they see as a complementary $3.5 trillion spending plan without Republican votes.

Wow, Biden's laugh at the end was so rude and dismissive.

we will have some nice roads to push our cars to work on

[MrWatchowtnow]

81 million voted for this guy who is clearly all there. Seems legit.

"John Q Citizen should have to pay extra for only being able to afford a car that uses gas, " thought the politician as they flew on a private jet across the country for a 20 minute meeting about climate change taxes. "Oh no, I think I left the lights on in all three of my houses, " the politician worried. They shopped for private yachts to use for their next birthday party to pass the time.

The politician loved looking out the window while flying over their privately owned wine fields, being worked by illegal immigrants. "It's only right that everyone else pays for their healthcare, housing, and food, " thought the politician. "After all, I am a job creator." Sipping taxpayer funded 2007 Louis Roederer Cristal and designing a bill to reduce property taxes for millionaires, offset by increased taxes on wheat and digital purchases, the politician felt at peace. "Yes, this is what the founding fathers dreamed of."
