What are we getting for the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure bill?

In Wake of PA Bridge Collapse, Look Where $4.2 Billion of the Road Repair Fund Was Found

When a bridge in Pittsburgh collapsed Friday, Democrats used it as an illustration of why the Biden administration’s infrastructure plan was a great investment in vital roads and bridges.

But behind the scenes for many years, Pennsylvania Democrat leaders siphoned money away from a fund that was supposed to be doing just that.

On Friday, the Forbes Avenue bridge over Fern Hollow Creek and Tranquil Trail in Pittsburgh collapsed.

In Wake of PA Bridge Collapse, Government Redistribution of $4.2 Billion in Road-Repair Funds Resurfaces

For years prior to Friday's bridge collapse, Pennsylvania officials siphoned money out of a fund that was designed to fix roads and bridges.

But according to a 2019 report from WHYY-TV, a Public Broadcasting Service station, Pennsylvania state leaders had dipped into a fund for roads and bridges to the tune of about $4.2 billion over the six previous years.

The money mostly came from the state’s gas tax and was used to fund Pennsylvania State Police operations.

“There’s an inherent deal,” then-Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said in that report. “You’re going to have this high gas tax, but it’s going to go to fund roads and bridges. And now when they find out it’s not happening, I think that gets people upset.”

“There’s a whopping 57.6 cents of state tax added to each gallon of gas sold in Pennsylvania,” DePasquale said at the time, according to CNHI News.

The bill includes a total of $40 billion of new funding for bridge repair, replacement, and rehabilitation.

Infrastructure Czar Won’t Tell GOP Where the $1.2T Is Going

Biden’s infrastructure czar Mitch Landrieu will not tell Republicans how he is doling out the $1.2 trillion in tax dollars in an infrastructure bill that RINOs pushed through with Democrats. Republicans are trying to find out but Landrieu ignores them.

GOP members of the House Transportation Committee asked for briefings on his role and the process for disbursing the money.

Rep. Sam Graves of Missouri, the top Republican on the transport panel, told The Washington Times that a request for a bipartisan briefing was made on Jan. 25 in a letter to the White House but it was ignored. They requested another on February 9th and that too was ignored.

The administration is using the money for the Marxist woke agenda, not infrastructure, and treating Republicans as if they were non-existent.

“With inflation spiraling out of control, now more than ever, oversight is essential to the effective implementation of the law and the use of the dollars it authorizes,” Graves said.

“The fact of the matter is that most of the building will actually be done by states, by the cities, by the counties, by the tribal leaders,” Mr. Landrieu said. “That’s why our team, and me personally, have been reaching out — extensive outreach to state and local officials.”

It’s clear Congress will have no oversight.

And billions for Democrat's pet projects that have nothing to do with infrastructure.
And there is no such thing as "human infrastructure". That's translated as social programs.

 

[Northern Flash]

Was that a white bridge or a black bridge?

It had to have been a black bridge since old whitey always gets the good stuff.

 

[Northern Flash]

10% of that bill is actually earmarked for Infrastructure the rest is fluff and waste

I think that it was Rand Paul who read off the waste that was in the bill. Your 10% estimate is very close.

The bridges are collapsing but at least the Delta Smelt have a safe habitat and books for Critical Race Theory have their funding.

 

[Northern Flash]

...and yet 40 Billion for bridges

And probably equal that amount for the gender studies of pollywogs.

Which party is in full control right now? Oh, that's right, the Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Proposes Nation-Wide Speeding Cameras to Fine Speeders and Help “Prevent Potholes

Pete Buttigieg Proposes Nation-Wide Speeding Cameras to Fine Speeders and Help "Prevent Potholes"

Pothole Pete? That has a bit of a ring to it, doesn’t it? Pete Buttigieg has reportedly proposed a nationwide speeding camera system. This money would come from the infrastructure bill that has already passed. Trending: WATCH: GOP Lawmaker Delivers EPIC Response After Pelosi Tries to Defend...

welovetrump.com

Pete’s goal is apparently to ticket all speedsters AND to help “prevent potholes.”

So rather than, you know, actually improving infrastructure with the infrastructure bill, they want to use it to fine (“tax”) us even more!

They’re craziness knows no bounds.

More details below:
So far, the mainstream media doesn’t appear to be picking up on this story.

We shouldn’t be surprised.

They want to protect Joe’s feeble administration at all costs.

Thankfully, the Daily Mail has a few details for what’s in store

Here's Pete Buttplugger unloading his bicycle from an SUV just a few blocks from his work. The fraud must have experienced hitting a pot hole on his long, two block, commute to work. So he wants them filled.

'You're about to get a lot more speeding tickets!' Critics slam 'Pothole Pete' Buttigieg's plan to fix the nation's roads crisis with MORE speed cameras and lower speed limits that will guarantee fines for drivers

Critics slam Buttigieg's plan to put more safety cameras on roads

Buttigieg announced the plan yesterday and claims it will reduce the number of deadly road collisions. In his plan is a promise to both lower speed limits and add more speed cameras to the roads.

www.dailymail.co.uk

The highway plan is receiving some $17billion from Biden's $1.2trillion infrastructure bill, which will be used in part to pay for the cameras.

Buttigieg's 42-page plan includes a caveat to 'promote' speed camera use, which he says will be a more 'equitable' way of patrolling the roads than if cops were tasked with it.

He wants to create roads that will 'self-enforce' through speed limits and cameras - rather than have cops patrolling them.

But skeptics say it will only end up leading to more fines for motorists - and money for the government - while doing nothing to address the country's real transport problems.

They are demanding to know why Buttigieg - nicknamed 'Pothole Pete' because of the pothole crisis that unfolded in South Bend, Indiana, when he was the Mayor - isn't doing more to improve things like bridge stability, traffic flow or conditions on crumbling roads and highways.


'43% of all public roadways in this country are "in poor or mediocre condition."

'In other words, we actually are Mexico, though a lot richer.

'Pete Buttigieg has a plan. Here it is: More speed cameras.

Pete needs to just go back on maternity leave and hatch another child out of his arse instead of pushing this idiocy.

Of course the democrat freak show wants more cameras, better to control everyone with.

But, but, but, they'd never do anything immoral or infringing on our rights with those cameras, would they?

Since Trump was elected, nearly every "conspiracy theory" that we've created has come true. That's how crooked, evil, and sleazy the Democrats have become.

That is becoming more obvious as the days roll forward.

Name a topic or subject that the so called Experts and Marxist sheep have deemed “conspiracy” and you will unearth a mountain of evidence pointing otherwise.

Sane individuals who are astute enough to seek out and dive down the rabbit holes once again are being vindicated left and right on a whole host of issues.

The exposure of each of these things, that many of us have been pointing to and attempting to help facilitate information so that people can have the ability to have critical thought instead, of collective mindsets and being told what to think is one of the foremost issues of the day.

Marxism thrives on the ability of influencing “Collective Thought”.

On each of my posts at the bottom you will see this:

Leaders who have fallen into ignorance and who mislead people by directing them to the path of destruction are, in effect, boarding a stone boat, and so too are those who blindly follow them. A stone boat would be unable to float and would sink in the water with its passengers. Similarly, those who mislead people go to hell, and their followers go with them. ~ Srimad-Bhagavatam

A lie told often enough becomes the truth. ~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

There is truth in those words. Truth that the collective mind hive that we see so prevalent in todays society have either lost the ability or no longer seek the harder path of Critical Thought.

if a conservative doesnt like guys they dont buy one
if a leftist doesnt like guns, all guns must be banned
If a conservative is a vegetarian they dont eat meat
if a leftist is a vegetarian no one should eat meat

Roads, bridges, updating our transportation network?

Nope

Equity (whatever that means) programs of course now that’s a priority

This is what Democrat policies look like.
Sure is good to see the "adults" back in charge.
