They are trash bills that do basically nothing for infrastructure.

If we're going to spend that kind of money, I want to see actual infrastructure. Manchin and Sinema are doing the right thing.

Over a hundred billion in road, highway and bridge repairs is trash? Tens of billions to ensure access to high-speed internet to improve educational access, tens of billions in railroad infrastructure when our country is struggling to move goods and materials for renewed demand : also trash?

I'm curious, if paying for infrastructure to help Americans and to create American jobs is trash. Just what do you stand for?

Repairs?

10 billion for internet....

10 billion for railway?

No, that's trash.

I want a fucking Manhattan project infrastructure bill. Not more bailing wire and duct tape bullshit.

He even made that point by saying he'd have to sell Tesla stock, because he likely doesn't have billions in cash.

You saw that the World Food Program received 8.2 BILLION in 2020... and nothing changed.. right?

They received 8 BILLION in 2019 (almost half from the US) and nothing changed.

My favorite part of Musk's tweet was this: "But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent."

10 billion on railway would maybe cover replacing railway spikes, FFS.

Seran doesn't even realize that the 100 billion for road repairs is already in the annual budget.

There's no focus on an actual project in this bill, it's a mass spattering of bullshit.

Way to completely miss the point being made.

When are the extremely stupid people of the planet realize they are being played?

I'm looking at you Seran and time4fun.
