John,
During the entirety of Donald Trump’s presidency, “infrastructure week” became a running joke. It was supposed to be one of his signature issues. He promised to deliver during his campaign, but it never materialized during his presidency.
But President Joe Biden and the Democratic-controlled Congress have advanced the bipartisan infrastructure framework within a year, a massive and unprecedented investment in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure and our future. This achievement shows that when Democrats are elected, they get stuff done. Big stuff!
Here’s just a few of the investments in the bipartisan infrastructure framework:
-
$110 billion to repair roads and bridges.
-
$65 billion to expand broadband access.
-
$65 billion to update the electric grid in the face of national disasters.
-
$55 billion to improve water quality, including replacing lead pipes.
-
$39 billion to modernize and expand access to public transit.
-
$25 billion to upgrade airports.
-
$7.5 billion to establish a nationwide network of electric vehicle chargers.
-
$1 billion to reconnect communities that have been historically segregated by physical barriers.
These funding areas have a true impact on our everyday lives. Safer roads, improved water quality, better airports, expanded broadband, and more public transportation make everyone’s lives easier and more productive.
When Democrats are in charge, they pass bills to help women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and working families. When Republicans are in charge, they pass bills to help the top 1%. It’s really that simple.
