In a speech delivered in Las Vegas, President Biden made a grandiose promise to spend an astronomical amount of money on infrastructure. He boldly declared that he would allocate a mind-boggling “billion 300 million trillion 300 million dollars” over the next decade. Now, that’s a whole lot of zeros, folks!
Biden Vows To Spend 'Billion 300 Million Trillion 300 Million Dollars' On Infrastructure….https://t.co/9Y9e5DVKk2

But before diving into his spending spree, Biden couldn’t help but take jabs at his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. According to Biden, Trump “failed” to invest in America’s infrastructure during his time in office. He scoffed at the idea of “infrastructure week,” claiming that his administration would surpass that by turning it into an “infrastructure decade.” Oh, how clever! But pardon us if we’re skeptical about the effectiveness of such grandiose promises.
Not content with just criticizing Trump’s infrastructure efforts, Biden went on to attack his character as well. He dismissively stated that Trump “doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about” when it comes to his assessment of America as a “failing nation.” Well, Mr. President, actions speak louder than words, and it’s hard to deny the rising inflation, the crisis at the southern border, and the multitude of other problems plaguing our country under your tenure.
Of course, no Biden speech would be complete without one of his signature stories. This time, he shared an anecdote about a cantankerous old man named “McCullough.” Apparently, this grumpy fellow played a significant role in Biden’s early political career. The president recounted how he was running for Senate as a youthful 29-year-old and faced skepticism due to his age. But he managed to win the election, although he had to wait a little bit before being sworn in. It’s certainly a heartwarming tale, but does it justify spending trillions on infrastructure?
While Biden’s speech may have been filled with lofty promises and nostalgic stories, it’s important to approach these pledges with a critical eye. Yes, infrastructure is essential, but do we really need to spend an exorbitant amount of money to get the job done? As conservative Republicans, we believe in fiscal responsibility and limited government intervention. It’s time to question whether these astronomical spending proposals are truly in the best interest of the American people, or if they’re simply an opportunity for Biden to leave his mark on history, regardless of the cost.
