House Finally Passes Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenTo be clear, the only reason it passed was the 13 Republicans who voted for it.
As NBC News' Sahil Kapur noted in July, the package includes:
—$40b bridges
—$11b safety
—$39b transit
—$66b Amtrak/rail
—$7.5b e-vehicle chargers
—$5b clean buses
—$17b ports
—$25b airports
—$50b water resilience
—$55b drinking water
—$65b broadband
—$21b enviro remediation
—$73b power/clean energy
Now we wait for the Congressional Budget Office to render an opinion on Biden's social spending package. If it checks out, expect a second vote in a few weeks.
And while Democrats gave themselves a standing ovation following the vote, needless to say, not everyone was happy:
