Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., on Sunday defended a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure proposal as crucial to heartland states, pushing back at criticism that the plan fails to address border security.
In an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Cramer argued the infrastructure addresses “the movement of goods.”
“This compromise of the $1.2 trillion [bill]… over a third of it is not just infrastructure,” he maintained. “It's roads and bridges specifically. In addition to that, there's ports, waterways, railroads, airports, broadband, all of which are critical to the movement of goods and services around the country and around the world.”
“We couldn't get North Dakota soybeans to South Korea if we didn't have ports in the … Pacific Northwest and we certainly couldn't get pasta in New York without trucks getting the wheat from the field to the bins and then off to the mills and the factories,” he said.
Pressed on why there was no money in the bill for border security, Cramer refuted the host’s assertion that his view of the bill was wrong.

Trump needs to Remove this Evil .
Yes. Same guy.
Unbelievable
Has he read the bill, all 2,000 pages of it? I doubt it.
He is in the wrong party.
How much is his Bribe ?
Pass the fricking bill, I’m all out of Fs to give. These Republicowards make me sick that’s it no longer worth being angry about. Just pass the damn thing and let Weimer hyper-inflation begin. And pass the Reconciliation bill behind it that’s going to be the real monster. I don’t want to hear any Republican bitch about the Reconciliation bill either.
He, his buddies, his donors... money for all. Crucial.
I’m developing a real liking for Rand and Ted.
Both have been consistent and spot on regards the issues.
But if T-Rex (Trump) returns, I’m sorry, he’s going to be it.
Uh, not really. What a shlub!
“How much is his Bribe ?”
Indeed. Most Senators get elected poor and leave office millionaires, and no one asks where the money comes from. Someone needs to dig into Cramer and his co-conspirators and see where that money comes from.
So my understanding is, there are several amendments the GOP wants to vote on, but the RATs won’t agree to a vote unless the GOP agrees to end debate - one GOP Senator will not agree to end debate, he’s running out the clock of 60 hours. I think his strategy is, no debate on amendments, so if his fellow GOP members will have to accept the bill, as is, after 60 hours - hoping it will be so distasteful, less than 10 GOP senators will support it. I think that was s the strategy, but I could be wrong.
I saw this putz this morning on with Maria Bartiromo, who tore him a new one, but he just kept smiling knowing those PAC checks would keep rolling in.
If it’s good for the country then why not make it $500 trillion?

Cramer cheered on the Murder of Ashli Babitt, and lied about it already being adjudicated
1). Cramer is a Liar.
2). Cramer ignores the groundwork being laid in this Porkulus that will allow Dems to control where you live with a Per Mile Tax and Auto reporting that will bankrupt people that choose to live in the country.
3). He essentially says, we will lose, so we surrendered and it made it easy on them.
Cramer is a scammer who will have no idea where the Trillions went in four months.
.
Where is the border funding as Maria asked him.
“”over a third of it is not just infrastructure,” he maintained. “It’s roads and bridges specifically.””
These people just don’t NOT think like we do - they don’t even SPEAK like the rest of us...
Lock it in with 2021 dollars and pay it off with 2022 - 2024 dollars.
Assistant Democrats have to assist the Democrats, it’s what they do.
