Scoop: Biden appointing infrastructure chief (an attempt to prevent fraud)
Axios ^ | 11/11/21 | Hans Nichols, Jonathan Swan

Posted on 11/12/2021 2:12:52 AM PST by Libloather

resident Biden plans to install a point-person in charge of infrastructure to ensure his administration properly implements its trillion-dollar legislation, two sources familiar with the plans tell Axios.

Why it matters: Biden and his top aides know they need to flawlessly execute on their mammoth plan. It may be Biden's best - and, perhaps, only remaining - opportunity to show voters Democrats can deliver major changes to improve people's lives.

The White House press office did not have an immediate comment.

**SNIP**

The goal is to streamline the grant-and-spending process and prevent fraud as the $1.2 trillion in funding is dispersed.

The infrastructure spending is divided into two parts: $650 billion for existing - and mostly pre-planned - highway and transportation spending; and $550 billion for new projects, including an additional $110 billion for roads and bridges that would not have been otherwise modernized or constructed.

American could see the benefits from another $65 billion for high-speed internet access well before the 2024 election, especially a $14.2 billion program to provide a $30-a-month voucher to low-income Americans to pay for internet service.

There's also $66 billion for passenger and freight rail, which the Amtrak chief told "Axios on HBO" would be "absolutely transformational."

Behind the scenes: A Biden adviser said the administration doesn't expect an immediate bump in the president's approval ratings.

And RATS wonder why. Maybe give the 'infrastructure' gig to Horizontal. She's available. Last I heard she was defending the French border or something. Let's go Brandon.

The bad news is that the infrastructure chief will be Hunter, with his years of experience in building Ukraine's gas industry.

American could see the benefits from another $65 billion for high-speed internet access well before the 2024 election, especially a $14.2 billion program to provide a $30-a-month voucher to low-income Americans to pay for internet service.

And just like that, every internet provider raises their rates by $30 per month.

Hmmm....one single person to prevent fraud over a trillion-dollar fund? If you were being realistic, you’d have to create an entire agency of 1,500 people, with full audit capability, and at least 200 prosecutors to go after reported fraud.

This sounds like some management-lite folks who goofed around college who just felt if you appoint one single idiot to this job...fraud will be prevented.

Right on cue. Obumbles did the same thing with the last dem raid on the treasury. The “czar” is to give the appearance of propriety. In fact, that person directs the fraud. There were no “shovel ready jobs” but the money sure disappeared, didn’t it? It all funnels down into the giant corruption machine. How many leftwing billionaires suddenly appeared in the years following the last time this scam was perpetrated? This is simply redistribution by other means, and to the very richest people. Which are after all are the true dim constituents, not the poor and downtrodden they pretend to care about.

“Brandon plans to install a point-person in charge of infrastructure to ensure his administration properly” guides pork to friends and political donors and no money accidentally winds up benefiting ordinary businesses. Plus the PORK distributions kickback MUST be properly accredited to the correct accounts.

They want to make sure the right unions get enough money to effect the 2022s and beyond. Mcawful will be lining his pockets and Obama will be dipping his beak for sure.

Salary will probably be 10% off the top, and 10% of that will go to the “Big Guy” . . .

A new job for Hunter? The art gig isn't as spectacular as they thought it would be. 10% for the big guy.

Who’s Biden kidding? This is so bogus........watch for the big steal.

Biden is appointing an infrastructure chief to assist the Biden Crime Family.......they alone will have a tax paid aider and abettor to help them drain billions into off shore banks.
