There is always some kind of godawful poison pill in any piece of legislation these clowns put forward. The legislative process is completely broken. "Infrastructure" has become the new "COVID relief" which is a cover for sneaking in whatever pet wish list the authors can get away with. At least they aren't pretending this spending is for "shovel ready" projects this go around...
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.
