Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the latest $928 billion infrastructure offer from a group of Senate Republicans was “a good sign” in the negotiations on President Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion plan.
Buttigieg said, “We met the urgency of confronting COVID with the rescue plan. Now, we got to meet the urgency of preparing the American economy to succeed for the next many decades with the American Jobs Plan and generational investment in the infrastructure we count on from the tradition of stuff like roads and bridges to newer things like the internet, access for everybody, to the internet and making sure that we have the right kind of care economy. So, as we continue this back and forth, and I will say, it’s been very above-board, very positive, even though we have clearly started out in different places. I believe that the conversation needs to continue to focus on what really is blowing up my phone which is, people around the country talking about their immediate infrastructure needs.

It will be the young kids who will have to pay it all. This is truly sad. Maybe a great depression II, wars, famine, etc.
McCarthy and Mitch...
Oh goody! more free money flushed down the toilet
This is what the Dems wanted all along. Republicans always fall for this crap, negotiating in bad faith to save a few billion and then brag about how they stopped the Dems overspending and how conservative they are.
Only a fraction of this bill will go to actual infrastructure. The rest is payoffs to various left-wing groups and orgs.
I supported Trump when he wanted to rebuild our infrastructure, and I still support the idea of investing in OURSELVES!
Every last RINO that votes for this crap needs to be primaried.
all this money ..the working people outside the in debt cities will be forking over the bill to funnel money into these rat holes under the lie of building “infrastructure”.
Peter Butt said that.
How does a person avoid becoming gay with a name homonymous with “Butt Gig”?
Problem is that none of that printed money will actually go to infrastructure. A few bike paths and a few signs. Just like last time. The money will disappear and go to the usual people and places.
Trump actually would have spent it on infrastructure. Biden will not.
Hera that flushing sound
Democrats just love their Assistant Democrats.
Yeas, because they wan the ruin of this country to be a bipartisan effort when blame is affixed later.
Regarding double speak, what exactly is a “care economy”?
Aren’t the gasoline taxes (Federal & State) supposed to pay for “infrastructure?”

That’s a question you’d have to ask Dick Butkus
