Seriously. Does anyone honestly believe the GOP isn't compromised like the Democrats? Tyrants will tyrannize when they believe they can get away with it. At this moment, they believe they can. There is hardly a nickel difference between the two tyrannical parties. This is just a reminder.

I'm always torn between blackmailed or bought off when I see Rs voting like this.

Was about to praise the 6 democrats who voted no, until I found out that they are psychos who apparently didn't think the bill was destructive enough. Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley

With this bill that was passed, what specifically is wrong with it?
I genuinely do not know other than reading on Poal, over and over, that the bill is garbage/trash/wasteful spending.

There are some actual infrastructure projects in it - bridges, roads, waterway improvements, etc. Then there are items that bear no actual relationship to infrastructure at all - I just started looking up some of the items - some, sections of the various title 23 (highways) are not to be found....
$500 million for the Healthy Streets Program - https://www.randoland.us/bill_breakdowns/the-bipartisan-infrastructure-bill-hr-3684/495/ $500 million to catalog tree types up and down the streets?
$500 million for “Transportation Resilience and Adaptation Centers of Excellence”
- https://www.randoland.us/bill_breakdowns/the-bipartisan-infrastructure-bill-hr-3684/496/ - The problem is that there is no title 23 section 520 (it ends at section 519) - https://uscode.house.gov/browse/prelim@title23/chapter5&edition=prelim - so what is the money exactly going to be spent on????
$250 million for the Congestion Relief Program - https://www.randoland.us/bill_breakdowns/the-bipartisan-infrastructure-bill-hr-3684/487/ - parking lot studies?

the term "infrastructure" has also been changed to mean "human infrastructure"

Just take a guess which humans democrats will want to spend that money on. I bet they will be used to give money disproportionately and intentionally to black people.
