"$1.7 trillion of the Administration’s proposal goes to a wide array of initiatives that would be better considered through thoughtfully crafted, more targeted measures –

"Only 25% of this package is dedicated toward our roads, bridges, transit, rail, airports, ports and other traditional transportation infrastructure that the Committee is charged with overseeing. That does not reflect a targeted approach at all."

– not lumped together in a massive package that throws taxpayers under the bus with the biggest tax hikes we’ve seen in decades – a fact the Administration seems proud to embrace."

Ranking Member @RepSamGraves: "Thankfully, it’s Congress’ job to write legislation and not the Administration’s." See his full statement on the Biden Administration's infrastructure plan⤵️ https://t.co/gifOTYuMmT

Despite some indications from experts showing signs of economic improvement since our last efforts to address COVID, we haven't seen the full effect of the trillions of dollars Congress has approved.
