Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill Is Dead

Healdsburg CA

Description

Last month, a bipartisan group of senators and representatives compromised their strict partisan positions and came together with an infrastructure bill to finance one trillion dollars of needed improvements in roads, bridges, rail, public transit, broadband, and other needs. Biden hailed the bill and promised the American public to support it. Pelosi promised to bring it to a vote by the end of September. So what happened? The far left insisted the bill be tied to a much larger three and a half trillion dollar social spending bill. Both Biden and Pelosi caved to the demands of the far left. So don't any longer call the infrastructure bill bipartisan. Republican support has dried up on what is now a four and a half trillion dollar spending package, now that the two are tied together. And how is it to be paid for? Taxing big business (Amazon, Walmart, Chevron and Google) and the "super rich"? Barrowing more money from China and the American people, which would require another debt ceiling cap vote? But they tell us they will not be raising taxes on the "little folks", like you and me? Is there anyone out there naïve enough to believe big business taxes are not simply added to the cost of what they sell? We all know how expensive gas is in California. A respected fuel consulting company based in Irvine calculated the TOTAL TAX on a gallon of gas sold in California amounts to $1.21, and is the highest in the country. Just like gasoline taxes that are are charged oil companies and passed on to us, other taxes on other companies supplying goods and services, are also passed on to us, and as those taxes go up, what they charge us goes up with them. Be assured, whatever taxes incurred by big business from this massive spending program, will eventually come down to all of us "little guys" paying it.
