Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tapped to lead the administration’s rural broadband expansion, failed to connect one person with high-speed internet despite having $42.5 billion from the so-called infrastructure bill.
During his 2021 State of the Union address, President Joe Biden tapped Vice President Harris to lead the effort “because I know it will get done.”
Now, in 2024, it appears that the Biden-Harris admin has made little progress getting Americans connected to high-speed internet.
...
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commission Brendan Carr noted in June that Biden and Harris did not connect one American despite having access to $42.5 billion in funding from the so-called infrastructure bill, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Carr noted on Wednesday, “President Biden put VP Harris in charge of this effort back in 2021 and days later not 1 person has been connected.”
Hundreds of broadband infrastructure builders are now sounding the alarm, writing that the $42 billion plan to expand Internet has been wired to fail.”
...
Carr in June contended that much of the Biden administration’s failure to expand broadband is to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals.
...
All of this threatens to leave rural communities behind.

This is the 2024 version of “She’s going down!”
I didn’t need that image.
What is $42.5 billion divided by zero?
And she was only the VP at the time
Just imagine what it would be like with President Kamala
So where did the money go?

It didn’t take Barry long to fire up the locomotive toward her eventual train wreck, did it?
I think the Dems will be replacing their presumptive or actual nominee once again.
August 19 is still a long, long ways away.
The Green New Deal=Graft & Grift
I’m pretty sure I could have done at least one or two for 42 billion.
Billy Boy Clinton and AlGore were using this scam back in the early 1990s. Just like shovel-ready, the democRATS use whatever they can to “spread the wealth” to their friends and benefactors.
Sounds like Newsom’s high speed rail.
Well she is on equal turf with Mrs Buttguy who hasn’t created any EV charging stations with 7 billion dollars .... sounds like Mrs Buttguy is a possible VP candidate ... failures of a feather flock together.
To shovel ready projects.
Good question. There seems to be little accountability for the massive amounts of money given towards infrastructure bills.
I call BS on all of this. Spectrum in my area in Eastern Washington has been working for the last couple of years bringing fiber optics thoughout Yakima County. I connected last year and they just finished the area my father in law lives in and he has already scheduled his onstall.
It doesn’t mean I’m voting for her but that’s tge truth.
Where’s the $425 billion?
If we can’t call her the Immigration Czar, can we at least call her the Broadband Broad?
