Democratic governors hailed passage of a bipartisan infrastructure package that will send billions of dollars to state coffers to launch new projects and rebuild crumbling roads and bridges.
But only a handful of their Republican colleagues heralded the bill, which won votes from 19 Republican senators and 13 Republicans in the House.
“This bipartisan bill will put America’s infrastructure on the right track to grow jobs and make our economy competitive for the twenty-first century without raising taxes or adding to the debt,” Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said in a statement. “After decades of gridlock, I’m proud to have helped push the federal government to finally act.”

What government people and most people don’t talk about, is that, the best infrastructure that could save the world, is an economy that is firing on all cylinders.
A great economy takes care of all the other infrastructures; without an economic engine that is robust, no other infrastructure will be able to survive, no matter how much a government tries to take away from the people.
Yep and now watch Biden’s approval rating increase thanks to the traitors giving him a “win”.
Why do we need to care about Manchin and Sinema when there are 32 “Republicans” willing to pass such disasters. If they would have needed 33, they would have got 33. If they needed 43, they would have got 43.
I can understand that many of the 32 that voted for this thing are NeverTrump folks, Lindsey Graham at the top of that list.
However, Malliotakis ran as a Trump supporting Republican. She’s a fraud just like all the rest. Hoping to see someone step up next year to challenge her.
And when they all head down to Florida, I’m more than hoping that President Trump tells them all to wait outside while he finishes another round, gets something to eat and attends to some other things.
More importantly before the usual crowd chimes in about President Trump backing or supporting, this person or that person, the man has absolutely no idea what they’re going to do if/when they get in office. IE...Sasse and quite a few others. He cannot control that. The only people that can are the voters. I’m sure all the heavy construction company owners on Staten Island are licking their chops over this bill. Wait until they’re all left out in the cold when none of that money starts flowing into their pockets. Won’t be hard for AOC to demand that the construction companies that get the money are minority owned and controlled. That pretty much squeezes out all the Greeks and Paesan’s that are waiting to submit bids.
From this point on, I really wish President Trump will tell anyone wanting his support that, for now, he is done with it. He’s done being stabbed in the back repeatedly by the likes of Sasse, Malliotakis, and all the others and that he’s withholding any and all support. He’ll encourage folks to vote Republican, but no longer putting his stamp of approval on anyone.
Be interesting to see how the RNC, who’ll probably love it, and the voters will react. Voters will be furious, but in a good way, I think.
What a maroon.
Hogan is being touted as the new face of the Republican Party by the “press” and the Lincoln Project types. Well, he’s done real well in Maryland - all but 1 of the 10 congressmen and senators are Dems, and the Dems control both Houses of the Maryland Legislature by a total margin of 133-47. He’s done real good, hasn’t he? No wonder these losers want to promote him as the coach of the Washington Generals.
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate infrastructure imo. This is evidenced by the writings of President Thomas Jefferson and Supreme Court justices, Jefferson actually encouraging the states to amend the Constitution for such a purpose imo.
In other words, governors accepting so-called "federal" infrastructure funding can argue that they are recovering state revenues stolen by the feds by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the very corrupt, alleged election stealing, Democratic Party-pirated Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (The states have never amended the Constitution for new powers for Congress to do these things.)
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphasis added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. [emphasis added], are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government stealing from the states and their taxpayers...
Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.
Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.
Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
Insights welcome.
We are a long way from a majority. This time it was 13 - next time it could be 100, if they needed that many. An (R) after the name is no guarantee of future performance, in a world of Deep State threats.
“..without raising taxes or adding to the debt..”
Hogan is a complete moron. He is worse than a Rhino
Trump could have done infrastructure, and it would have been better than this.
Of course, Hogan likes pork.
Porkity-pork pork pork pork pork.
His name does start with “hog”.
