When did you finally wake up???  The Corporate Fucks™ have been eliminating the Middle Class for the last Forty Years.  It's both political parties, Dems and Reps, that worship these Corporate Fukks™.  What I find interesting are these idiots who think they are Players in the Game.  The 1%ers OWN YOU.  And they don't give a fukk about any of us.

George Carlin will tell you all about it...

   Detox starting a Republican Hack Thread to biatch about 3.5% of this Infrastructure Bill.  3.5 %

Senate Democrats Release Outline of $3.5 Trillion Antipoverty, Climate Plan

If GOP Senators REALLY are against the infrastructure bill, they can stand on principle and refuse all money for their states repair of bridges, roads etc.

The only problem is they don't have the balls to do that & are gutless cowards.

They could, in theory, and should.........but they wouldn't

We've already borne witness to several of them shamlessly taking credit for benefits their constituents are receiving from Biden's American Rescue Plan --- which didn't receive a single vote in Congress from any republicans.

PS. Despite the fact that trump himself proposed an even LARGER infrastructure bill (which everybody seems to have forgotten) he doesn't want Biden to achieve what HE never could -- so he's threatening to ostracize then primary any republicans who vote for it
