Right, and I'm fully in favor of a lot of those elements. Roads and bridges, power-related utilities, public transit, etc. are all very important infrastructure projects that I'd be willing to pay more in taxes to see even more investment in. To be fair, I overstated the case with regards to the first bill. My reaction was more aimed at the items in Edward's link, and I was wrong to extend that criticism to the degree that I did.
What NobodyHere posted about is more to the point I was aiming at, but there are still a number of items in the first bill labeled as infrastructure which just aren't. I'm with Biden on a lot of matters, and I would like to see the first bill pass. I'm just not going to acquiesce to looking at a pile of burlap and calling it gold, which is what statements like Gillibrand's amount to.
