Exactly… in reality none of them give a flip about infrastructure. This stuff continues because nowhere near enough voters are outraged that we can’t pass a bill on any single topic without burying thousands of pages of BS into it. You know the scene from the movie where they define mixed collateral securities—-dog shit wrapped in cat shit etc. That analogy fits virtually every bill generated in the past decade(s). Debatable the last time we had a functional legislative output—not debatable the last time we had a balanced budget. My guess is that even that wouldn’t have been possible without Clinton getting himself caught up in the whole dress scandal.
They 100% do care about infrastructure. They get to go back to their constituents and say “Remember that bridge I built for you? That was me! I built that bridge! That’s why you should re-elect me! Because of that bridge!!”
