Stopping Illegal Immigration is far more popular than fiscal restraints and spending.

NO Debt ceiling increase until the Trump Wall is finished completely, the House is adjourned.

Sometimes you just have to take the bottle away from the drunk.

Especially when they keep running over people

“Hudson Tunnel Project is expected to cost $16 billion.”

A new rail tunnel from NYC to NJ makes sense, but only if it’s one way exiting the city.

As retired County and City engineer, these mega projects just chap my ass.

Here is an example from Washington State. The 520 Floating bridge was started and within a month already had a $400 million change order. Total cost of the project was $850 million.

Washington State has 39 counties and had the state divided that money between all the counties it would have solved more Average Daily traffic problems that affected more vehicles than all the Average Daily traffic that crosses that bridge each day.

Omnibus spending bills surrender Congress’ authority over the purse. Congress needs to craft and vote on specific line items.

Someone needs to tell Buttigieg we’ve already seen this movie. Where was he in 2009 when $831 billion of taxpayer funds was on the table for the same purpose? He needs to be asked if the name Solyndra means anything to him...A reminder for ALL, it was Biden’s job as VP to make an accounting of all those funds!!!! Another job he didn’t take seriously!

“”Infrastructure
Senate – $46 billion for transportation projects, including $27 billion for highway and bridge construction and repair and $11.5 billion for mass transit and rail projects; $4.6 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers; $5 billion for public housing improvements; $6.4 billion for clean and drinking water projects.
House – $47 billion for transportation projects, including $27 billion for highway and bridge construction and repair and $12 billion for mass transit, including $7.5 billion to buy transit equipment such as buses; and $31 billion to build and repair federal buildings and other public infrastructures.””

$11 trillion spent from the Trump and Biden administration and nothing gets repaired.
