I hate when the media says Republicans object to the "pay fors" of Biden's infrastructure plan...

...which may be incidentally true, but totally ignores the fact that it wouldn't matter if the world's billionaires decided to donate all the money we need for infrastructure for free (and, scarily enough, they could afford it).

Republicans object first and foremost in order to obstruct, to make Biden and the Democrats look bad, to make voters less happy with Biden and the Democrats when the next election rolls around. Any reasons they state other than obstruction are merely window dressing.

Obstruction for its own sake must be stated, over and over, as the driving force behind the current Republican party. That, and kissing Trump's ass.

Saying so isn't being partisan. It's getting real.

1. I hate when they say price tag. Like we're squandering money on luxury

2. As Has Been Previously Pointed Out

the American people want nothing to do with the 'user fees' the Repubs are peddling to pay for infrastructure, and the polling jumps-up rather dramatically when raising taxes on the Rich & Corporate are included.

The Repubs are trying to sell the people a rubber chicken.

The Republicans are selling us rubber dogshit.
