Infrastructure spending is a human rights issue?

[cawacko]

Can someone explain this one to me from California's newest Senator?

Here's the truth: infrastructure spending isn't a transportation issue for most Americans — it's a human rights issue.

I'm thinking of communities like Flint.

I guess if you count failing bridges, tunnels, rail, dams, etc., as hazardous to human life, then you could make such a statement.

She's trying to reference environmental justice without actually using those words. Water as a human right...stuff like that.

Seriously?....Flint has been done months ago...

No such thing as human rights.

Hmmm go spend a week in Hoxie, AR then come talk.

I'm thinking of all the small rural towns that keep getting bypassed on infrastructure projects.

You can't explain stupid; you point at it and laugh.

Flint was a creation of dimwitted liberal Democrat policies twit.

I honestly do too but if he gets his trillion dollars without half of it going to tax breaks for the wealthy as what Obama was forced to compromise with Republicans for his Bush recession stimulus package then Republicans congressionals would be hypocrites of a staggering degree.

I heard awhile ago it would be some kind of partnership with private companies -like building toll roads.
It's all I heard,and that was in passing, and that some time ago

Not even that. In many rural and small town regions in the interior of our nation we have infrastructure haves and have nots. That is an issue I have long argued Democrats need to champion to attract rural and working class voters. Try running a small business these days with limited IT infrastructure, for example. Crumbling roads and other public utilities doesn't help attract capital investments either.

First off Kamala Harris doesn't give two shits about some small town in AR made up of deplorables. And what isn't a human rights issue then?

Nothing dumber than liberals claiming another trillion dollar infrastructure bill will fix everything..... forget the last one that FAILED.

Nothing more moronic than believing government should add another trillion in deficit spending on top of the twenty trillion already on the books.

They just discussed it in congress yesterday and the notion got panned. Mainly on the point of if you plan on private investment on infrastructure what are their property rights in that investment and what happens if they don't step up to the plate?

youre letting your bias interfere with your reasoning.

public-private partnerships should be doable by contract law. I would think that might be better for high risk/rewards.
But i'll take anything -the rural infrastructure is a good idea too.
