Calling it a major missed opportunity, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said the bill focuses less on physical infrastructure and more on catering to Democrats agendas.
On Wednesday, while some lawmakers lauded Biden s proposal to confront big issues facing the country, like climate change and racial inequality, McConnell released a statement saying that less than 6% of the plan goes to roads and bridges, and more money is allocated to electric vehicles than roads, bridges, ports, airports, and waterways, combined. It contains sweeping far-left priorities like attacking blue-collar Americans Right to Work protections, a huge favor to Big Labor bosses, McConnell said. Every time that far-left dogma clashes with the interests of American families, today s Democrats pick the dogma.
