Skeptical on spending
I'm not a fan of the new trillion-dollar infrastructure bill. I try to see what's in it, and I find maybe a half trillion dollars for roads, bridges, water, airports, etc. But what's the other half trillion dollars for?Whenever the government wants to spend money for your good, if you do the math, the numbers never match up.
They tell you about all the good things the bill will do, but the price tag is always well above what is needed to do those good things. Go try to find where the money goes. You'll probably need a FOIA request and a lot of patience. Don't be surprised if you never get your answer.
