Senator Blackburn: Biden’s Infrastructure Agenda Is A Wish List, Not A Solution Tuesday, April 6, 2021 - by Senator Marsha Blackburn After a year of devastating tornadoes that ripped through neighborhoods and flash floods that left roads and bridges underwater, Tennesseans are no strangers to deteriorating infrastructure. Even as many parents and workers are still navigating floodwaters to find reliable paths to school and work, Democrats in Washington have proposed a sweeping infrastructure plan that promises to overhaul nearly every aspect of American transportation. But buyer beware—the left’s agenda includes everything but a solution for the Volunteer State. Biden’s massive $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan aims to overhaul America’s infrastructure via massive handouts for idealistic projects covering everything from public transportation to electric vehicles. Though bill ambassadors appointed by the White House are singing its praises, less than six percent of the plan actually funds traditional infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, ports, airports, and waterways. What’s worse, the liberal wish list items that make up the majority of this proposal will come by imposing the largest tax hike in nearly three decades.
