The Media Brainwashing About the Biden Fake Infrastructure Plan has Begun

The corrupt, Soviet-style, state-run media is all in on the $3 trillion Biden infrastructure plan. – The great Mollie Hemingway captured the essence of the media’s slavish, lapdog reaction to the Sock Puppet-in-Chief’s announcement yesterday in this tweet:

Everything about that New York Times headline is an outright lie, a Biden administration narrative parroted by leftist stooges who spend their days posing as journalists. Enlarge that chart on the left of the page and what you see is not a focus on “jobs, roads and growth,” but on payoffs to the Democrat Party’s supporters in the green lobby and its favored constituents who are dependent on government largesse.

Take the chart on “Transportation” as a prime example. Here’s what you see:

Electric Vehicle Incentives – An incredible $174 BILLION for you to subsidize the 1% of the upper class who purchase expensive EVs. Astonishing. This is the second-largest number in the entire plan.

Let’s slow the spread. Continue to wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart from other people, and avoid crowds. Get vaccinated when it's your turn. Ad by US Department of Health and Human Services See More Roads and Bridges – This seemingly positive provision comes in at $115 billion. But understand that, as I explained in yesterday’s News Roundup, most of this money will not go to repairing and expanding the nation’s crumbling road and bridge infrastructure, but instead will go to adding things like bicycle and bus lanes that are designed to make it more difficult for you to access these roads and bridges with your personal cars.

And here’s the thing: The National Association of Manufacturers estimates that we have become so far backlogged in repairing our nation’s road and bridge infrastructure that we really need to spend about 8 times this $115 billion over the next 10 years just to get the job done. Instead, Biden plans to spend a pinprick of that amount. Because, repeat after me, this is not an infrastructure plan.

Public Transit – Hey, more spending on buses and trains that nobody rides! Great idea! $85 billion.

Passenger and freight railways – And another $80 billion on trains and railroads. Actually, if this number focused on vastly expanding freight railways in order to take 18 wheelers off the interstate highways, it would be a true benefit to our society. But you can be certain that most of this money will instead go to even more subsidization of Amtrak, which has been basically bankrupt since the 1970s, and to prop up massively wasteful boondoggles like California’s railway to nowhere, which is already about 10,000% over its initial budget.

Those are the top 4 items under “Transportation,” totaling a whopping $452 billion over 10 years. Maybe 1/10th of that number will go to actually fixing dilapidated infrastructure. Maybe.

Let’s take a look at “Buildings and Utilities,” shall we?

Affordable Housing – An incredible $213 billion goes to a dramatic expansion of a social welfare program that has failed since the Great Depression.

High Speed Broadband – $100 billion. Another dramatic expansion of social welfare.

Electric Grid and Clean Energy – A $100 billion payoff to the fake green lobby.

Public Schools – Another $100 billion. I’m old enough to remember when public education and the building and maintenance of public schools was a power left to the states. Here’s your federal takeover.

It is only after that initial $513 billion of planned payoffs to Democrat constituencies that you get to some actual “infrastructure” spending. Surreal.

Now we have something called “Jobs and Innovation,” whatever that means to this evil administration. Here are some of the provisions included in this catch-all category:

National Science Foundation – $50 billion for what, exactly? Oh, hey, guess what is a big part of the NSF’s budget? If you guessed Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes for Health slush fund, you win the prize. Guess where most of this $50 billion will be going? It isn’t hard.

Semiconductor Industry – A $50 billion payoff to the Big Tech monopolies who helped fix the election last year.

Clean Energy Manufacturing – Another $46 billion Easter Egg for the fake green lobby.

Climate Technology – Another $35 billion Easter Egg – they’re everywhere in this plan.

Bottom line: You are going to be utterly brainwashed by our Soviet-style corrupt media establishment over the next month or two to accept this absolute travesty of a plan as the solution to all of our problems with “roads and bridges.” That will be the focus of the joint Democrat/media narrative that will be shoved down your throats.

But the truth is that this plan has pretty close to nothing in it that will improve the quality of our nation’s transportation infrastructure for individual drivers. In fact, there is far more money in this plan that is designed to intentionally make your daily commutes vastly more difficult in order to satisfy the demands of the Global Church of Climate Change.

That’s the truth, and you won’t be getting any truth on this plan from our corrupt, Soviet-style propaganda media establishment.

That is all.

Balanced Budget Amendment with Fair income tax. Congress cannot spend more that it took in the prior year, and everyone’s percent income tax the same.

You have to raise the rates on everyone, or on Tariiffs, or sales tax. You can’t spend more, unless war declared, or Congress looses all salary and benefits. House and Senate members are excluded for re-election if it occurs while they are seated members

This is step one, and the most important step, to save liberty and the Constitution.

The Solyndra scandal on a vastly expanded scale. That was only about half a billion dollars or so. But a few somebodies got handsomely wealthy off of it, without ever a solar panel being built and put into place.

Not that the scheme was ever meant to work in the first place.

Use the solar collection to generate hydrogen from brackish or saline pools of water by electrolysis, hold the hydrogen in large container vessels, then when the sun is not shining, use the hydrogen supply in fuel cells for electrical distribution during the off-hours.

Or use it to power the fuel-cell electric vehicles. We won’t need hydrogen mines then, or large battery arrays in rolling platforms. BIG obstacle for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles removed. All much greener than the “solutions” offered by “plug-in” hybrid or electric vehicles.

Exactly right. Something I have preached for years. simple tax return on a postcard if even needed.

Plus a budget based on previous years receipts. I even advocated that you could only spend 99% as that extra 1% went towards debt payment (not interest but actual debt).

Yep. Brazen, cartoonish, straight-up propaganda. As if written by White House staff for the most gullible and easily controlled idiots in the country.

I call it Bidet’s Alchemy Plan—allegedly turns lead into gold.

Like most of the alchemists, all Bidet will manage to do is pour mercury all over himself...

[9YearLurker]

Yeah, we really trust what the National Association of Manufacturers says about how much we need to spend on “infrastructure”.

[Thunder90]

Are you ready for some more “Shovel Ready Jobs” and going to Recovery.gov to learn about the new porkulus???

Oh I said something fishy. Better report myself to flag@whithouse.gov.

These are bike paths used by 'elites'... one more piece of evidence that most of the money goes to white liberal 'elites' and to their pet victim groups - the black dependent community.

Exactly right. Something I have preached for years. simple tax return on a postcard if even needed.

Back in the '70s I had to write a payroll program using a database of the different states' income taxes. I always thought Arizona had it right. IIRC, it was something like "What was your Fed tax? Send us 1% of that." Two entries that would fit on a postcard.

Later on Arizona drank the Kool-Aid and went to a convoluted tax form similar to the Feds - and created an ever-growing bureaucracy.
