Infrastructure .... more Humpty Dumpty speak; means whatever the Dems say it mean
So the physical construction like the Keystone xl pipeline that was providing jobs can be cancelled .Real ‘infrastructure’ projects involve improving and repairing the nation’s dilapidated roads, bridges and other transportation infrastructure, projects in which real people who work at real jobs to make a real living participate. Such people are no longer a significant constituency of the Democrat Party, Hell ,they don't even try to pretend that their agenda creates "shovel ready jobs."
Every other Dem wish list is now labeled "Human Infrastructure".
The proxies who run the country for Quid submitted an infrastructure plan that has far less than 25% of what would traditionally be called infrastructure spending . Most of the remainder of the bill is simply massive payoffs to Democrat Party funders

And the “plan” to pay for it won’t even provide half of what is needed.

Seems we heard about this before, over and over again. Shovel ready projects, filling pot holes, maintaining bridges when shovel ready jobs like building a wall go begging

I would vote against the entire bill if I could. It was the tax revenue that I said was "not enough".

A wall helps nothing.

Not enough jobs to keep the boats floating and will never stop enough undesirables and their drugs to be meaningful. Think before you speak.

Highways, bridges, school, and other such legitimate government undertakings are funded with taxes. You must listen more carefully, Grasshopper.

We are a constitutional republic . REAL infrastructure is a legitimate government investment . To understand why you have to know the meaning and intent of Art 1 Sec 8 the Postal Road clause . Congress has the power "to establish . . . post Roads.”
A post road in the 1800s was an intercity highway punctuated with “posts” or “stages” with stables, inns for eating and sleeping, even newspaper offices. Today we call a post road an “interstate highway.” To establish a road meant to do everything necessary for the construction and maintenance of that road—laying out, construction building bridges, building canals etc.
Now in the 21st century can it be argued that broad band internet is part of the infrastructure ? Maybe . But the Dems expand the meaning beyond all rationale . They basically say all their socialist welfare wish list is "human infrastructure " .
It is nonsense that even they can't adequately define . It is in the eye of the beholder what is "human infrastructure" Like Humpty Dumpty they make words mean whatever they want them to mean.

Nice spin but doesn't address the countries needs at all, which you choose to badmouth as socialism. Like Obama Care you can always have a counter offer and maybe the American people will like it better...maybe not.
You're a capitalist, so crunch the numbers unless like your conservative buddy, you only count what you can hoard yourself, and hate government and taxes which you both have written about.

counter offer . Just say no . Don't do it Your counteroffer is how the Fabians operate ..creeping socialism at a slower pace .
The lust for spending doesn't end with the Dems
Insatiable !
$1.9 trillion for so called Covid relief
$2.25 trillion for infrastructure
$1.5 trillion for the annual budget
And that is not even 3 months in office
This adding to an already $28 trillion national debt (more than the total GDP of $21.4 trillion ) ...... and they haven't even scratched the surface of the Dem real wish list .... free medical care ....free college ....panem et circensus for the plebians of the empire ...... while we open the borders to all the Goths ,Visigoths and Vandals .
