Infrastructure light

"This is going to sound like a broken record, but it needs to be said one more time. CONGRESS - DO YOUR BLINKING JOB! We do not live in a monarchy. Biden is not a king." 

Did everyone hear Slo Joe live yesterday, or later on in the day when it was replayed? He brought this pig out called infrastructure, and tried to put some lipstick on it. Not only lipstick, but rouge, concealer, perfume and eyeliner. But it was still a pig - and an ugly one at that. 

Just like the American Rescue Act (stimulus # 3) was only 9% Covid related and 91% bull crap, this bill is slightly better. It is 25% infrastructure related, and 75% bull crap. "But", Slo Joe said, "this is a once in a generation opportunity to transform many things." Translation = this is the Great Reset, which will change our country from MAGA to Venezuela. Instantly go from wonderful to wanderlust, where we will wander and wonder what the hell just happened to us.

What Slo Joe laid out yesterday, had just a bit of infrastructure, a whole lot of tax increases, and wrapped up in the New Green Deal. It is money we don't have, doing many things we don't need. Now the irony is this - if this had been a true infrastructure bill, the Republicans may have wanted to tinker around the edges, but for the most part, they would have supported it. For this piece of dung, expect zero Republican support.

And that brings me to the most germane part of this article. It is time for us to lose the "deer in the headlights" look, as Slo Joe runs roughshod all over us. We have an almost evenly divided House right now, and a 50-50 Senate. We are not shrinking violets. It is time for the House Republicans to convince conservative Democrats to join them in stopping this nonsense. It is time for Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to join the Senate Republicans in slowing down or stopping this crap. Without their support, the 75+ million of us who voted for Trump, are going to continue to be steamrolled.

Donald Trump wanted to address infrastructure. However, he had a hostile Congress who was more concerned with impeaching him. So, that never happened during the Trump years. But the support remains for improvements to much of our aging infrastructure. Support for the 75% of bull crap which also resides in this bill? Nada. 

This is going to sound like a broken record, but it needs to be said one more time. CONGRESS - DO YOUR BLINKING JOB! We do not live in a monarchy. Biden is not a king. Word of warning to Congress - if you don't stop Biden right now, we will stop you in November of 2022. Count on it.
