Biden Touts $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Spending Spree as He Refuses Debt Ceiling Negotiations

President Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks in Baltimore, Maryland, where he touted a tunnel project being addressed with funds from the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act he signed in 2021. At the same time, he continues to refuse spending cut negotiations with Republican lawmakers over the $31.3 trillion debt ceiling breached on January 19, even though he has admitted Washington politicians need to rein in the national debt.

Biden visited Baltimore to discuss a renovation to the Baltimore-Patomic Tunnel, a rail tunnel he claimed to have passed through “a thousand times” as an Amtrak passenger.

You can refuse, but you can’t escape the consequences.

The House should pass many bills, each with a modest spending cut (or reform) and a modest debt limit increase (say the amount to be saved over the next five years).

Put the Democrats in the position of refusing to increase the debt limit and having to take the blame for the consequences.

Democrats know the Republicans will fold.

They always have.

They always will.

It’s the tunnel Joe would have passed through a thousand times.

I think there’s a Howard Street tunnel that is also an issue.

Who could blame Biden.
The GOP has the same losing leadership it did when it passed legislation making Biblical Christianity a federal crime.

Not much we can do. But maybe we can make Joe Biden sweat. Wait until last minute (June?). Then the Republicans will approve a debt ceiling increase of one trillion dollars. Then do it all over again 12 months later.

Make it a political issue for 2024. Joe Biden wants a government shutdown so he can blame "MAGA Republicans".

If the funding ever gets to where its intended, like many state and federally funded endevours it is a boondoggle that drags on for decades with no end in site. a teet that keeps on feeding for decades. How many major construction jobs in the inner cities have you noticed on the way to work that have been in effect for years and never get completed? I know of one that is still going on that was started when I first got the job and is still going on after I had retired after 30 years

“But it’s an all-star cast for our entertainment and amusement... “

Which is neither entertaining nor amusing to the handful of us Constitutionalists left!

Nothing is going to change. Just knuckle down and get your own financial house in order.

And, Pray.

Easy solution. Don’t negotiate. He has no say so about how Congress decides to spend money.
