Infrastructure


Not in the USA

In late 2021 the Biden administration passed a $700 billion … a very big number … infrastructure bill. Pilgrim, how much evidence … roads, airports, bridges, tunnels, high-speed rails, etc.  … have you noticed being built almost two years later?


Once more Dems have pulled the ol’ switcheroo …



STAND UP FOR INFRASTRUCTURE!

Projects in the USA take ages to get design and planning underway before work gets started. The Big Dig cost twice as much as the Chunnel (3 tunnels 31 miles long, mostly under water.)
The Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland, which is the longest and most expensive rail tunnel in the world, cost €11 billion to complete. The Laerdal Tunnel in Norway, which is the longest road tunnel in the world, cost $153 million to build. In America there is a need to see who can set up the best way to funnel money into back pockets and to keep the projects going for years. If you want some MAGA, the interstate highway system in the 1950s was very aggressive about getting to the goal.

Those 546 thousand workers at a conservative burdened cost of $150,000 each is $82 billion.
That's a lot of cash to mostly blue-collar workers. Over seven years at that pace, that's $560 billion.

Thanks for the link. So, it’s really $3 trillion of supposed infrastructure spending! And Natick gets a new sidewalk on Speen street. I sincerely doubt that this pipsqueak project is federally funded. In fact, I suspect it comes from mitigation funds from the Natick Mall. Show me where all this ocean of money is going for major national infrastructure, Nr. Biden Rumpswab.
