The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021 allocates $550 billion over the next five years. That's in addition to another $650 billion that was already allocated.

I know you and I have a habit of disagreeing on essentially all things, so feel free to not respond to this, but I did want to put an actual fact out for anyone else reading and thinking that we literally don't spend money on infrastructure while we throw tons of money at war, because that's simply not true, even if you think the proportions are off.

The infrastructure and jobs act was far less than what we need, because half the government wants to starve the poor and kill them with preventable diseases and enslave them in lifelong debt. Remember that.

Wow, I can just feel the rush of the goalposts flying by!

Eat my ass. It's a fact that the bill was whittled down by compromises because half the government thinks any form of government spending is too expensive. Yet that same half loves spending money on war. Where's the lie?

Sorry, I'd rather not. I'm afraid I'm not a furry.
