Sen. Blackburn to Biden: ‘If You Want to Waste Time Peddling GND Policies ... Admit It, Don’t Call It Infrastructure’

‘Don’t call it infrastructure and then turn around and throw pocket change at actual infrastructure problems that need to be addressed right now’

EXCERPT:

BLACKBURN: "If I could give the President one piece of advice, it would be this: If you want to waste time peddling Green New Deal policies or expanded social safety nets, admit it. Just admit it. Call it what it is. Don’t call it infrastructure and then turn around and throw pocket change at actual infrastructure problems that need to be addressed right now. That mislabeling makes it look like you’re trying to pull a fast one over the American people, and it makes the American people believe that you really don’t care, and that’s a dangerous message to send in the middle of a traumatic pandemic recovery, especially considering the prices are already on the rise. We see it in utilities, we see it at the gas pump, we see it in the packaged snacks we purchase for the children's Sunday school class.”
