So a GOP talking point against the infrastructure bill is that only X% is for roads and bridges. Of course, the media ask Dems to address this and they handle it beautifully pointing out that in the 21st century, the power grid and broadband ARE infrastructure.
Here's Buttigieg addressing it on FOX. This is excellent. Limiting infrastructure to roads and bridges is 20th century - now it's time to prepare for the future.
Of couse, Sanders cannot praise the bill but instead criticize it for not doing enough and then stepping all over the message, he goes on to talk about "human infrastructure." We have won the messaging on infrastructure, but I am concerned he will do his best to lose it for us.
Health care for all, education reform, affordable college are worthy goals but adding them to infrastructure by saying "human infrastructure" adds weight to GOP charge that it's a bill packed with stuff unrelated to its stated purpose, a Trojan horse.
