“As the American economy struggles to recover from COVID, the last thing we need is more wasteful spending on liberal priorities. Inflation is higher than it has ever been in over a decade, and businesses are struggling to get workers back to work because of the lavish handouts from our Federal Government. What our country needs is a pure investment in American infrastructure, one that would put people back to work and increase mobility for Americans; new roads, bridges, and pipelines built by Americans for Americans. Unfortunately, the Democrats have yet again decided to play politics with America's future. Rather than investing heavily in new roads, pipelines, and bridges, Democrats are using their infrastructure bill as a means to push radical left ideas on energy, leaving out oil and gas workers while funding goes toward achieving the Green New Deal. House Republicans have introduced our version of real American infrastructure. It is $460 billion versus the Democrats' $1 trillion plan. It includes investment in roads, bridges, and transit, water infrastructure, and broadband. It will help put Americans back to work and build a brighter future for America. That is what real American infrastructure is about, not pushing far- left policies to appease the base. If the Democrats ever get serious about wanting to build out America's infrastructure, Republicans are ready to work with them. ____________________”
