There's the infrastructure bill which already passed both houses of Congress (with bi-partisan support BTW) and has been signed into law by Biden.
And then there's the $2 trillion spending plan, which has only passed the House.
Pick one or the other to rail against, but keep in mind the spending bill hasn't added one red penny to the debt or the deficit because it hasn't passed the Senate and been signed by Biden.
FWIW, I'm against both bills. The infrastructure thing just gives the money to the states, and the states are going to spend it they way they want and it won't do any good. Too much money for roads, not enough money for public transit, etc. And I'm fucked if I'll agree to the EV credits. $12,500 to help wealthy people buy expensive cars? Piss on that.
And the spending bill? Why fucking bother? Everything good's been stripped out of it. Better off doing something useful like eliminating the debt ceiling.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
