Republican position on Infrastructure

[Hawkeye10]

It has been interesting watching how the Mind Molders are having trouble going along with the lie that the multi-trillion dollar socialism advancement bill is infrastructure.

the infrastructure package has already passed.......

Hello cawacko,

Democrats have complained for the longest time that Republicans won't invest in infrastructure. This is well before Trump was in office. It's not like this is new. Republicans show a modicum of fiscal responsibility when a Democrat is President and almost none when its a Republican.

But if we're going to have a partisan pissing contest, Democrats hold zero moral high ground when it comes to hypocrisy, partisanship and political expediency.

Yeah, let's set the partisan stuff aside. You should be able to do that, right? You recently challenged me to do so.

The full $3.5 Trillion package will probably pay for itself in savings, disaster avoidance and an enhanced economy. That fact is not even being considered. We've got to see past the end of the checkbook. We can't be nitpicking about the cost and refusing to see the benefits. That lacks vision.

No Republican is going to support the three and half trillion dollar package regardless of what is in it, hell, they can't even get all Democrats to support it

Democrats in the House are blowing their opportunity to pass a solid infrastructure bill, the Senate has already sent them a near trillion dollar parcage which they won't pass unless the larger bill is passed at the same time. The Democrat Party is becoming a duplicate of the GOP, good at attacking who is ever in office, but disappointing when it comes their turn to actual govern, didn't used to be that way

It's always easier to be out of power and complaining then in power and running things. For all the problems Republicans have, Democrats have their own issues between the two wings of your party as you stated.

On one hand I get it, if you're an AOC type you think what's the purpose of having power if we don't do something big with it. But just like those on the far right, you aren't going to get 100% (or close) to what you want so are you willing to compromise and get some or say F it - all or nothing.

Republicans tend to not regard advancing socialism as a benefit.

Nope. Democrats have positions consistent with their values. YOUR party has no positions. Those are not equivalent in any way, shape or form.
