After much delay, senators finally unveiled a $1trillion infrastructure package Sunday night that includes historic funding for railways, clean water and electric car charging stations.
Of the $1trillion package, $66billion is earmarked for railways - the largest spending since the creation of Amtrak in the 1970s - $55billion will fund the replacement of every lead pipe in the country and $7.5billion will go towards building the first-ever network of charging stations for electric vehicles.
The bill also includes an additional $65billion to expand broadband Internet access across the country, and senators are pursuing for upwards of $25billion to repair major airports.

One thing for certain - they didn’t become multi-millionaires on their government salaries.
“$7.5 billion will go towards building the first-ever network of charging stations for electric vehicles.”

Did they mandate all raw material, components, parts and finished goods to be made in USA?
Do they fund a network of coal plants to supply the charging stations>
