Infastructure Bill Signed, Now What

[InChrist]

So granting that for the sake of argument (FYI, economists are saying the opposite) what's your proposal? We just let our infrastructure continue to crumble? If that opinion piece were accurate, why did Trump make so many (unfulfilled) promises to fix the infrastructure?

Yes, infrastructure is important, but I am wondering how much of the 1.2 trillion is actually going to infrastructure, as well how long the country can continue bear increasing debt.

So it seems you agree that it's important to upgrade, maintain, repair, and expand our infrastructure, which brings me back to my question....how specifically do you propose we pay for all that?

Plenty of potential labour the other side of the border. It would turn them into tax payers too.
As long as the USA is a capatalist country it will need a growing work force.

I don’t know, but possibly eliminating all the wasteful spending would help.

 

[Jose Fly]

I don’t know

I appreciate your honesty.

It's funny how American conservatives seem to be against taxes and against taking up debt to finance necessary expenses.

I would be very keen to know how they imagine a government ought to pay its bills.

I think a great ticket would be Desantis for President and Niki Haley for Vice President.
However, if Trump wins the Republican primary I would vote for him vice any contender that the Dem's put forward.
It sure will not be Biden, maybe the Dems (and the Republicans) will get lucky and Hillary runs.
The Dem's do not have any viable canddiate at this time

Desantis has already shown he's no more morally fit for office than trump. Niki Haley would be a better nominee for president, even though she's made some pretty dubious statements over the years.

As far as democrats for president in another year the fallout from trump's poor pandemic management will be resolved and they can start being judged for their own policies.

And let's not forget what is coming down the pike for trump and other trump republicans legally.

And just what certain conservative point of view are you referring to there.

I'm curious what you think the modern GOP offers the average citizen.

Its just crazy that all this infrastructure fell apart and needed repair right when Biden became president.
Or..
Its been falling apart for many years and prior presidents ignored it.

HmmI wonder which it is?

Explain how you think the GOP offers the average citizen a better life. Give examples.

Problems all over the USA have been reported for decades. Trump even promised to invest in infrastructure. He even mentioned it in his inauguration speech. He just never made it a priority so it never got done. The same with the promise of a better healthcare solution. It never got done.

Now the 'Build Back Better' is passed by the House.

Obviously you are assuming that the GOP does not offer the average citizen a better life, so how about you giving examples why you don't think they don't.

A Trump dictatorship hell bent on fascism, and I ain't kidding.

That is what the evidence suggests. And most conservatives seem happy to have an authoritarian government, and less democracy.

I asked you to explain your claim that the GOP offers the average citizen a better life. Apparently that stumped you.

 

[metis]

For all practical purpose, the Pubs now have a "heavenly" embrace with former KGB head Vladimir Putin, Trump's BFF who Trump repeatedly has praised. and some other historical thugs who were "strong leaders", to use Trump's own words for them.

That's absolutely correct, if by 'average citizen' is meant white evangelicals

They are a subset. There are many average citizens of the United States of America who are not evangelical or Christian.
