General Bullshit posted:I don't even know what is in any of these bills except tax cuts and tax credits. The infrastructure bill has a bunch of infrastructure funding that on its own is nice but ultimately will probably not be noticeable to most Americans. Maybe the most significant thing in it is funding to try repair the damage to neighborhoods that got cut in half by highway construction, which are mostly black neighborhoods cuz racism. But who knows how much the actual end result will actually help those communities and reverse any of that damage. The bottom line is its gonna increase the deficit without making noticeable improvements to most American's lives even though on its own it will help improve some things. People don't think about bridge maintenance when they're struggling to pay for daycare so both parents can make ends meet by both working, for example. So then it will become yet more fodder for right wing arguments that government spending is bad because the deficit number go up and most people won't notice what all that money paid for. Also that's not getting into the fact that the infrastructure bill should have been used to set up infrastructure that will help with regards to climate change and reducing emissions but that part of it was probably almost completely gutted and turned into EV tax credits that won't help the average American pay for an EV and won't change the fact that our electrical production is about as filthy as burning gas in an IC engine Mrs. Dash has issued a correction as of 05:05 on Nov 6, 2021 |

i remember reading some article that even the funding for roads/electrical etc is pathetically low for whats actually needed. not to mention there's no enforcement for whether these things happen or the companies just pocket all of it or most of it.

Unless the poo poo I read earlier about how the funds are divvied up is out of date, the amount allocated for the highway-split neighborhoods was like a billion dollars total for the whole country. I'm not a civil engineer but that seems like... not enough

He's still the world's biggest pussy, it's just that no one has put any weight on him at all. If Biden or Schumer or pelosi threatened him even a little he would fold hard, but they're puffing him up instead because they want this poo poo to fail
