Brendan Carr: Biden Has Not Connected One Person with High-Speed Internet with $42.5 Billion from Infrastructure Bill
Breitbart ^ | 06/15/2024

Posted on 06/15/2024 4:15:50 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr on Friday wrote that President Joe Biden has not connected one American with high-speed internet with $42.5 billion in funding from the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill.

“In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans. Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest,” the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner wrote.

Does this nation even have 10 years left?

Do we even have 5 years left?

It’s just lies, lies, lies, lies and more lies all of the time.

Even the Washington Post printed this fact:
“President Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years.”💸💸💸💸


People are supposed to check on the new $42.5 Billion internet connections to see if an EV charger is close to their home in the $7.5 Billion project.💸💸💸💸💸

$1 dollar to washington--.01 cent in return, and that is unsderstated. The money goes to keep the permanent deep state funded.

Dennis Prager had Ruchir Sharma on his program recently. Sharma has a book called "What Went Wrong With Capitalism." He spoke of how for the past 20 years, there has been a total ot 3,000 regulations per year implemented for a total of 60,000, yet only 20 have been revoked.

Musk has done more to bring internet to rural America than Biden or any Democrat. The fact that they are still pissing away money on broadband when starlink has pretty much fixed the problem is government in a nutshell

The corruption is so bad that we can’t build anything anymore. We fund a project and 90% of the funding is stolen.

Everything not nailed down is being stolen...

Either we’re at the end of this experiment, or the law is coming... not sure which just yet.

They’ve been working the past two years in our town laying conduit to run fiber through; folks a few miles south of us already are hooked in, never had internet before.

Not taking the bet. None of this largesse is supposed to actually help people. If you actually help them, then they won’t need help anymore, because they’ll have already been helped. And then there won’t be any money in the budget to help them. So you see, appropriating money to help people is compassionate. Using the money appropriated to actually help them is mean spirited.

You would think, that this along with the 7 charging stations built for billions of dollars would be a national scandal, yet the lead story is FJB’s star-studded fund raising in L.A.

They probably wrote in all sorts of mandates for small & minority owned businesses to do the work and found out that few firms could qualify to get that funding.

Come on man, times have changed, it’s a brave new world now. You are just going to have to be more flexible, You can’t continue to hold on to those rigid principles. Not everyone can live to your expectations or standards...

This money wasn’t for connecting the interwebs. This was walking around money for the connected.
