INFOGRAPHIC🔎President Biden’s ambitious #Infrastructure plan includes a varied package of initiatives, from traditional projects like roads and bridges to #Climate initiatives and programs outside the traditional infrastructure scope. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/biden-admins-2…
Below is a summary of proposed expenditures under the $2 trillion-plus #AmericanJobsPlan that Democrats will try to pass through a nearly evenly split Congress in the coming months, which Biden says is the 1st in his 2-part economic plan.
Biden's plan includes $621 billion for transportation infrastructure and resilience projects, including $115 billion to modernize bridges, highways and roads.
This also includes funding to improve #AirQuality, limit greenhouse gas #Emissions, and reduce congestion.
$100 billion is meant to build high-speed #Broadband infrastructure to reach 100% coverage.
$213 billion is allocated to produce, preserve, and retrofit more than 2 million affordable and sustainable #Housing developments.
This includes the creation of a $27 billion Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator to spur private investment into the #Energy sector.
The plan includes $12 billion for community college infrastructure. States will be responsible for using the dollars to address both existing physical and technological infrastructure needs.
$18 billion has been set aside for the modernization of #VeteransAffairs hospitals and clinics.
A larger chunk of the plan includes $400 billion for expanding access to affordable home- or community-based care for the aging population and people with disabilities.
$100 billion is set aside for programs targeted at underserved groups and getting students on paths to careers, including $5 billion in support of community violence prevention programs and $48 billion in workforce development infrastructure and worker protection.
$111 billion would be used to replace 100% of the nation’s lead pipes and service lines to ensure clean, safe drinking water.
A hefty $300 billion would be used to strengthen manufacturing #SupplyChains, including $50 billion for a new office at @CommerceGov to monitor domestic industrial capacity, $46 billion to jumpstart #CleanEnergy manufacturing, and $52 billion for domestic manufacturers.
$180 billion would go towards investments in R&D and future technologies, including $35 billion to address the #ClimateCrisis, $15 billion in trial projects for #Climate research priorities, and $15 billion to create 200 “centers of excellence” at historically black colleges.
$10 billion would be used in the modernization, sustainability, and resilience of federal buildings.
$25 billion has been set aside to help upgrade child care facilities and increase the supply of child care in areas that need it most.
Another $100 billion would be used to upgrade and build new public schools, through $50 billion in direct grants and an additional $50 billion leveraged through bonds.
$111 billion would be used to form a more resilient grid that goes toward “achieving 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035.”
This includes a $10 billion investment in mobilizing conservation and resilience workers and the creation of a new Civilian Climate Corps.
Some programs and investments outlined in the plan didn’t include a price tag:
- LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYMENT
- WAGE PROVISIONS
- UNIONS
- CLEAN ENERGY
- WORKPLACE TOOLS
- JOB ACCESS
- COMMUNITY INVESTMENT
- TECH ADVANCEMENT
- JOB TRAINING
- HOUSING
Economists say the plan amounts to a massive federal power grab—potentially the largest in decades—while criticizing the Biden administration’s broad definition of #Infrastructure.
In recent days, the fog of incomplete and conflicting information provided by interested parties has begun to clear. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/what-happened-…
It now appears that a state election monitor was absent for a part of the counting process.
It is also clear that GOP #PollWatchers were prevented from meaningfully observing much of the process, even though they were allowed in the room.
1. RULE CHANGE
On Aug. 10, the State Election Board approved a new rule allowing election officials to start opening and scanning #AbsenteeBallots 3 weeks before #ElectionDay.
In a widely quoted statement, @GaSecofState Brad #Raffensperger said that ”Pro V&V found no evidence” of tampering with the machines.
But he failed to disclose that the company had a preexisting relationship with #Dominion that dated back years.
The testing from Pro V&V had been characterized as “superficial” and “cursory testing” by an expert cited in court documents. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
News Analysis🔎The post-#Election push to pressure President Trump to concede, despite numerous credible allegations of #VoterFraud and ongoing legal challenges, is the culmination of a 4-year-long campaign against him. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/infographic-th…
This campaign started in 2016 when the #FBI launched a politically motivated investigation of his campaign. During his subsequent 4 years in office, there have been consistent efforts to remove him from office.
#Infographic: an overview of some of the main efforts made against the sitting @POTUS.
This is an issue that transcends party lines, as it is not only an assault on Trump, but an assault on the office of the presidency, and with it, an assault on the foundation of America.
