$1.8 trillion "American Family Plan that has nothing to do with American families and $2.3 trillion "Infrastructure" plan that has nothing to do with infrastructure.

So what does the infrastructure plan have to do with then? Pity if its not actually about crumbling highways and bridges.

Only about 10-15% of the infrastructure plan actually goes towards what most people considered infrastructure - roads, waterways, bridges, electric grid and communications. Most of the rest of it are things like subsidizing electric vehicles, subsidizing retrofitting buildings to be more "green", low income housing allocations, elderly housing allocations, a 7% corporate tax increase, workforce development (?) whatever that is.

Just a huge pork bill to slip in a lot of agenda that has nothing to do with infrastructure. There is a counter proposal to just do $600 billion for actual infrastructure and only infrastructure which is a much better option.
