Did you read what you wrote? Clearly you did not understand it. Of COURSE the ignorant and uninformed are all for the billionaires paying for this! Why not get jobs and all kinds of other goodies when you are promised the mean nasty rich folks, full of white privilege and racism, are going to pay for all of it. Serves them right!
The problem is the democrats have been promising the same kind of claptrap for 50 years, and it has not worked the way they promised ONE SINGLE TIME! The percentage of poor is still virtually the same as it was in the 60's. The poor and underprivileged would have been far better off if we had just educated them and helped them find jobs, instead of PAYING them to sit on their couches, watch TV, and make babies for a living.

Like everything else in your political dream, nothing you are fed is true..

https://www.npr.org/2021/04/01/983470782/by-the-numbers-bidens-2-trillion-infrastructure-plan

President Biden this week unveiled a massive infrastructure proposal that he says would deliver a "once-in-a-generation investment" in the United States.

Here are six key numbers from the wide-ranging measure:

$2 trillion
The plan's overall estimated price tag.

13
The U.S. ranks 13th in the world in overall infrastructure, according to a World Economic Forum report in 2019. The Biden administration is using the ranking to emphasize the need to rebuild and upgrade roads, bridges and much more.

28%
The proposal would be paid for with a slew of tax increases on corporations. The main corporate tax rate would be raised to 28%, which would be about half as high as what it was before the Republican tax cuts of 2017 that lowered the rate to 21%.

15
While the plan would spend most of the one-time funding over eight years, the corporate tax changes would raise the estimated $2 trillion over 15 years.

$400 billion
infrastructure plan key provisions
White House
The proposal seeks to spend hundreds of billions on what are traditionally considered infrastructure projects, but it would do a lot more — including putting $400 billion toward expanding access to home- or community-based care for the elderly and people with disabilities.

500,000
Among the plan's investments in electric vehicles and their infrastructure are grants and incentives for public and private entities to build a network of 500,000 charging stations by 2030.

And here are some highlights from the plan's spending provisions:

Transportation:

$174 billion in electric vehicle investments
$115 billion for bridges and roads
$20 billion to improve road safety
$85 billion for existing public transit
$80 billion for railways
$50 billion to improve infrastructure resilience
$25 billion for airports
$17 billion for waterways and ports of entry
$20 billion to reconnect urban neighborhoods cut off by highways

Water, Internet, electric:

$45 billion to remove lead pipes
$56 billion for modernizing water systems
$100 billion for high-speed broadband
$100 billion for the electric grid and clean energy
$16 billion for putting "hundreds of thousands [of people] to work in union jobs" plugging oil and gas wells and restoring and reclaiming abandoned mines
$10 billion for a Civilian Climate Corps
Homes, schools, buildings:

$213 billion for affordable housing
$100 billion for school construction
$12 billion for community colleges
$25 billion for child care facilities
$18 billion for VA hospitals
$10 billion for federal buildings
Workforce, innovation:

$400 billion for home- or community-based care for the elderly and people with disabilities
$180 billion for research and development, including investing $50 billion in the National Science Foundation and $35 billion "to achieve technology breakthroughs that address the climate crisis"
$300 billion for manufacturing and business, including $50 billion for semiconductor research and manufacturing, $30 billion for pandemic preparedness and $52 billion for domestic manufacturers
$100 billion in workforce development programs targeted at underserved groups, including $5 billion for violence prevention programs

The claim: '9% of the 1.9 TRILLION dollar package is going to the American people'
The American Rescue Plan – the signature initiative thus far in President Joe Biden’s tenure – has passed the U.S. House, sparking renewed debate over what exactly is in the $1.9 trillion package.

Democrats are presenting the mammoth bill as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed more than 500,000 lives and disrupted business, schooling and personal lives on every conceivable level.

Our ruling: False
We rate this claim FALSE because it is not supported by our research. There’s room for debate over exactly how much of the $1.9 trillion is related to the pandemic. It's surely not all of it. But this claim bungles a widely circulating 9% stat.

More than 99% of the American Rescue Plan is going to Americans, though some of that falls in the category of political “pork.” An analysis by a nonpartisan group found that about 85% of the bill is related to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 9% figure is actually what is going to fund direct disease containment measures such as vaccines, testing and tracing, and other public health initiatives.

Only SOME of the 1st and 2nd group have to do with infrastructure.... the rest is BS ... what a COS!!!!

Republicans are also very good at lining their pockets.
Remember John Boehner R,OH

Even the press secretary didn't deny that only 5% was for infrastructure. In fact, she said it wasn't an infrastructure bill but, rather, it is a once in a generation "investment."

I find it quite humorous that Trump supporters consider themselves critical thinkers when Trump told his followers to only believe what he tells them

Sorry. Your guess is wrong, as usual. I HAVE looked at what is being proposed. Obviously you have NOT. Like always, the left are trying to redefine words to mean what they want them to mean. Items like bailing out bankrupt democrat cities is now being called "infrastructure" just for example. So I am not the one full of crap. And no, every representative will NOT have input. The republicans will have their turn to speak, true, and then the progressive mob, joined at the hip to Ms. Pelosi, will override every objection, just as they did with the so-called-but-wasn't stimulus bill last month. And this package may (or may not) create millions of jobs, but the tax increases will drive up the cost of living for everyone, including the poor, and will cost MORE jobs than the infrastructure work will provide, leaving the USA with a net loss of jobs. And the American people may (or may not) want INFRASTRUCTURE investment at 2 to 1, but they do NOT want $3,000,000,000,000.00 dollars of progressive pipe dreams funded on their children's children's children's back.

RandyBrian,
Well said and agree...... you are so patient! However, at the rate we are doing stupid there will be no Country left for future children. Just a thought.

There's not enough rich people to pay the national debt. And you do know that taxes on the corp's results in more costs and inflation passed on to the middle class, don't you?

They don't want facts, permafrost. They want to howl about how evil the democrats are while driving on public roads, using the post office (for a small fee) and the internet (for free, basically), having police and fire protection, public school access and hopefully clean air to breathe and water to drink.

They just wanna complain, because none of that would have come into being under their GQP values.
