Business anger grows at Biden's 'infrastructure' plan: Top firms criticize 'dangerously misguided' $2T plan pouring billions into fixing racial inequalities, climate change, electric cars (with only 5% set aside for bridges, roads and trains)

Major American business groups have lined up against President Joe Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan – even after many of them got behind his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief effort.

The opposition signals the headwinds the White House is up against promoting a package the Biden is designating as the next big push of his agenda, and one that he said Friday would create 19 million jobs.

I can see GOP leaders now, speaking in nebbish, wimpy, low-testosterone voices,’I hope this doesn’t hurt our heroes Biden and Harris. We did so much for them by sabotaging Bad Orange Man”,

As far as I know every major American business group lined up against Trump, so I'm more than ok with them getting screwed, in fact I hope they go out of business.

Their covid relief was only 9 percent, the rest / 91 percent pork for Pelosi and pals scams.

Now it 5 percent with 95 percent for their scams. Remember Barry’s Solyndra scam?

If those major business groups would kindly let the world know what Presidential candidate they supported and who their members voted for, that’d be great.

They’re seeing all that money fhey were planning on stealing going to someone else to be stolen and they don’t like it.

The left thrives on emotion and stupidity.

Common sense and fact are devoid in their thought process.

Auto makers cannot sell enough EVs to make a profit on the actual investment made to design, maufacture, advertise and market them.They are simply not selling well. If it were not for the tax credits and subsidies, they would bankrupt Ford, GM, Volkswagon and even Tesla. Ford, GM and Tesla don’t pay a dime in corporate Federal taxes. The management at Ford and GM have gone woke and have betrayed their stockholders by becoming unprofitable.

We’ve already eaten the Debt Bomb and the Government can’t pay the interest on the debt. Just a matter of time before the Chinese and others stop buying our Treasury’s Bonds. The aggressively stupid have destroyed this country in less than 100 days.
