Then should repairing our roads be called 'Road Welfare'?

It's all about MEEEEEEEEE the women sing.

And so are contraception, abortion, no-fault divorce, and child support, right?

I dunno. If we classify people as material assets it sounds like we’re treating them as property. Can you depreciate your children on the 1040 form?

We should make no mistake: the current admin applies that concept to the federal level.

It is now politically correct and certainly more relevant for the Left's agenda to define "infrastructure" as what ever the government can suppose would be helpful to the country. With that, it can assume greater authority for its involvement and taxation.

See current Infrastructure Bill with only a small portion devoted to traditional infrastructure.

Surprised she didn’t say access to abortions was “infrastructure”.

Yeah, and taking all of Whitey’s money and giving it to indolent, angry, hate-filled non-producers isn’t infrastructure but will be implemented in the bill.

If that’s infrastructure then Medicaid should cover the purchase of alcohol and illegal drugs.

Folks, this is not atypical thinking on the left. Just you wait.

They will sell this claiming their "infrastructure" bill will fix roads. When they get the money, however, they will spend it on everything other than roads. They've been pulling this bait and switch for decades.

That's why our roads are in such crap shape out here.

This from a moron who’d never think of the economic segregation of toll-only express lanes as a firm of pay-to-play elitist apartheid, because it’s never wicked when THEY do it.
