The Republican National Committee, on the other hand, has taken a strict and distorted view of what counts as infrastructure, for the purpose of scoring points against Biden.
Roads, bridges, waterways, ports and airports count, but public transit, utilities and other foundational elements of the economy and daily lives don’t, the GOP contends.
Here’s the RNC in an email Wednesday:
“Biden’s non-infrastructure bill hikes taxes by $2 trillion ... all while only spending 7% of the bill on roads, highways, bridges, waterways, ports, and airports combined.”
And one from April 1:
“Joe Biden’s ‘infrastructure’ plan is not really about infrastructure, it is another multi-trillion dollar far left wish list. Just take a look at the actual bill. Only 7% of the bill’s spending is for what Americans traditionally think of as infrastructure.”
