The $3.5B bill is a Democrat Party (Marxist/Bolshevik) dream, and should be opposed by every Republican in Congress, and opposed by every Democrat who might still recall things like the Constitution, Bill of Rights, free enterprise and individual liberty. Unfortunately, there are none.
The $1.2B bill is extremely flawed, filled with billions of dollars and federal programs designed to increase federal government intrusion into every American’s life while increasing Democrat/Bolshevik Party power. Yes, it has some positive infrastructure ideas which warrant taxpayer funds (bridges and roads, power grids, broadband), but the rest is a Democrat Party socialist wish list filled with dangerous nonsense. All 19 Republican senators who voted for this bill should be called out, ashamed to call themselves conservatives, and all GOP members of the House must oppose. We must uphold our nation’s founding documents and ideals, limited government too, and never allow the shredding of our individual liberty.

If we want nice parks, nice schools good roads and spiffy new bridges over every creek, we should demand that our local and state governments raise our taxes to pay for those things. It’s insanely stupid to think we can get any of those things from “The government” and not have to pay for them. We don’t get money from Washington– Washington gets money from us!

You’re crazy if you believe that Congress, either side, will ever cut the budget. Especially with the economy infected with the fake pandemic, fake variants and fake vaccines.
That $4.7 trillion will go a long way toward making the slime-o-crats look better in the coming 2022 elections. It will help them rig them once again. Even some of that money will find its way into the stock market.
Helping the average American? Dream on. Why would we need infrastructure rebuilds when they are killing off citizens with poison mRNA injections? It’s all a house of mirrors, lies and deceptions to get more money into the hands of the all powerful.
Maybe the Repubs say no, but we can never trust the RINOS not to turn coat and run into the arms of the Dem Commies. $50 trillion in debt by 2030 no matter which gang of useless thugs runs the DC Swamp.

The Dems are dividing this country like never before except the Civil War. The Dems do not want history taught so they may not know about the Civil War. The problem as I see it is that everyday Americans are not paying attention and believe every headline they read. So,my conclusion,the FAKE media is the true cause of this divided America because they lie and only give their side of the story. They are opinion makers that should not be part of the so called news media. This includes big tech which should be broken up and sued for their unfair censorship which lets the Taliban on the network and not our 45th president!

The infrastructure bill has little to do with actual roads, bridges, airports, etc. And the $3.5T bill is nothing more than a progressive wish list of federal government over-reach. Reckless spending is part of the Marxist’s goal to destroy from within our economy, our culture and our nation. Not one penny of federal money should be allocated to anything without showing how that spending is constitutional. The federal government must remember that it works for the States – the States agreed to join the union, and any authority not delegated specifically to the federal government falls to the States. Our Constitution provides for a limited federal government. Perhaps it is time for an Article V Convention of the States to return to the vision that our illustrious Founders had.

Roads and bridges, except for US highways, should be taken care of by each state. US infrastructure should be highly maintained and improved with funding from a clean infrastructure bill which should include wireless communication, rail , waterways and ports.

A very limited hard infrastructure bill would be acceptable if the projects were previously suggested and public support exists. A public referendum should follow Town Hall meetings in each affected community, including reconsideration of previously approved projects. US Citizens must take back their power to be governed as they choose, not as special interest groups and American Marxists say we must behave and live. The US National Debt should be controlled by US Citizens, not foreign or domestic parties or allied groups (e.g. NATO, UN). It is time again for the Tea Party Patriots of 2010 to become actively involved in the future of the USA.

On my computer, there is no place to vote one way or the other. They are both digging the USA deeper into debt and that must be worked over before any more spending. Our government has been spending more than it has taken in for many decades. No family, business, or institution would exist if it spent more than it had year after year, but our government does. Now we are in debt to other nations, particularly the Communist Chinese Party which has maticulously stolen from us in ever ares of business, education, government and Military. AS pay for that theft, we need to declare the debt paid by their theft and STOP spending more than comes in to the government. FURTHER and as important, Our government needs to trim itself of the gross fat. The government needs to look to the Constitution, determine the areas the Federal Government is delegated responsibility and cut everything else out of spending. Finally, but probably of first priority is that they need to immediately STOP giving money we do not have to other nations, especially nations which have vowed to destroy our government. Then with all that, we need to turn to the Creator and follow the foundation laid in the Constitution which depended heavily on the Bible.

Yes I agree we should work and strive to keep our air and water pure but not to the tune of 5 trillion plus tax payer money when other countries are pollution the air more than we are. If more trees and greenery were to be planted in place of what is being destroyed by housing projects and businesses and even planting trees in the medians of divided highways and even on the shoulder of other roads would do more good than what they are proposing with unproven and not practical solutions. We have to preserve our country and it people for the future generations of our country and we can sell out to foreign countries like the Biden Administration is doing. Why is Biden dealing with a know terrorist’s group to bring our citizens home from Afghanistan. Since when does America leave any one behind? like the 30 plus school children and other American citizens he left behind defenseless. No other American President would do that. Then they had the bomber in a drones sights that could of taken him out that killed our 13 service members and they denied taking the shot because it might piss off Biden’s terrorist’s group. He need to resign, be removed by the 25th amendment or Impeached and charged for treason and crimes against America and its citizens. The acts he committed are un forgivable.

“All of a Sudden”, or at least it feels that way; but in actuality, the democrats have been sneaking in the “entitlements” and “government responsibilities” to provide for people in every manner of need across this great country.
That is NOT why this country was founded and it is NOT the way it has been governed up until the turn of this century. We have made a wrong turn along the highway of democracy and it is time to “make a U turn when it is possible” to quote my GPS. We need to get our country back on track…no wait…we just need to get our country back, period.
We start that by zero-based budgeting. Get the Federal Budget under control each year- don’t build upon mistakes after mistakes, creating such massive deficits, that no one will be able to pay. If we get back to bringing the budget in line- WE will become responsible for what we use and pay for it at that time; NOT leaving it for someone else to pick up the tab at a later date.
A conservative approach is totally in order to get our country back in our hands, so that we Can be the great country that we once were!

We have to preserve our country and it people for the future generations of our country and we can sell out to foreign countries like the Biden Administration is doing. Why is Biden dealing with a know terrorist’s group to bring our citizens home from Afghanistan. Since when does America leave any one behind? like the 30 plus school children and other American citizens he left behind defenseless. No other American President would do that. Then they had the bomber in a drones sights that could of taken him out that killed our 13 service members and they denied taking the shot because it might piss off Biden’s terrorist’s group. He need to resign, be removed by the 25th amendment or Impeached and charged for treason and crimes against America and its citizens. The acts he committed are un forgivable.
No pass it so we can read it on this one…….
Any one out there who is old enough to pay their own way knows you cannot spend what you don’t have if you know how to budget. These so called Representatives obviously have never had a real job or pay out of their own pocket. Their the pampered plus group. They have to raise taxes on the working class. They will say corprerate taxes but Corps will raise prices and who pays ,.. WE THE PEOPLE, that’s who. One way or another we will pay while they rob S.S.I. and use it for Representative s banquets fund and food for the Kennedy Center.
“All of a Sudden”, or at least it feels that way; but in actuality, the democrats have been sneaking in the “entitlements” and “government responsibilities” to provide for people in every manner of need across this great country.
That is NOT why this country was founded and it is NOT the way it has been governed up until the turn of this century. We have made a wrong turn along the highway of democracy and it is time to “make a U turn when it is possible” to quote my GPS. We need to get our country back on track…no wait…we just need to get our country back, period.
We start that by zero-based budgeting. Get the Federal Budget under control each year- don’t build upon mistakes after mistakes, creating such massive deficits, that no one will be able to pay. If we get back to bringing the budget in line- WE will become responsible for what we use and pay for it at that time; NOT leaving it for someone else to pick up the tab at a later date.
A conservative approach is totally in order to get our country back in our hands, so that we Can be the great country that we once were!
God Bless America!

Seems like socialism for all. When will the voters reign in the outta control politicians? Pork filled special interest bills that barely fund or address the stated intent of the title. Look at the actual funding levels for “infrastructure” as opposed to the pork content. Generations of self serving career politicians have brought us to this point. They enrich themselves, family and cronies with our tax dollars. When will enough be enough? WAKE UP AMERICA! No one is coming to save us, it’s up to you! Do something for YOUR country! We are destined to become like Australia if the course doesn’t change. Open your eyes…
They only pay worker on these projects so they can stay in position to make more debt for America why spend more when we get nothing done as it is nothing gets Done and spending more is only paying people so they can feed their faces and that has been for a long Time the way our money is spent.
