Biden's Build Back by Borrowing & Taxing Plan

$2 trillion on “infrastructure”…not so much:

• Less than 6 percent ($115 billion) for roads and bridges
  • 43 percent more is spent on mass transit and rail ($165 billion) than for roads and bridges
• Less than 2 percent ($42 billion) for waterways, locks, dams, ports, and airports
• Less than 5 percent ($100 billion) for broadband
  • 74 percent more is spent on subsidies for electric vehicles ($174 billion) than for broadband. 
• Meanwhile, most of the bill consists of non-infrastructure provisions such as: 
  • $400 billion for expansion of Medicaid
  • $213 billion for housing and to increase federal control of local housing markets
  • $100 billion of additional funding for schools without requiring them to reopen
  • $50 billion for a new office at the U.S. Department of Commerce
  • $35 billion for climate science, innovation, and R&D
  • $10 billion for a new “Civilian Climate Corps”
  • Overturns right-to-work laws in 27 states
• White House fact sheet says “climate” 20 times; says “Highway Trust Fund” ZERO times
• Spends billions of tax dollars on job training for Americans who lost their jobs as a result of Biden’s Executive Orders
• $2.3 trillion cost = FOUR TIMES the cost of building the national interstate highway system

• Yet another $2 trillion: The Biden Administration is planning to release another spending package soon that will reportedly be of equal size in spending.
• Combined, that $4 trillion would be in dollars the largest spending increase in American history.
• If Washington Democrats get their way, Congress will have enacted almost $10 trillion in spending in a single year – more than the total combined wages paid to all American workers each year.
