You disagree that your response was disrespectful and condescending? You should probably read it again.

The infrastructure percentage I used is your number that you used to “prove Destroyer wrong”, which it seems is more important to you than actually discussing issues sensibly. And of course you didn’t prove him wrong.

Everything we have here is infrastructure of a sort. The fact that I can buy just about anything I need for a project shows that we have an amazing infrastructure. The infrastructure that the government is responsible for is a very small segment of all infrastructure. Where that line is drawn is a source of very significant disagreement between the left and the right - disagreeing with you about where the line is is not sneaky, tricky or ignorant. In the case of the infrastructure bill, it’s an issue if fiscal responsibility.

The most egregious claim in the link you posted is that the bill is partly “paid for” by redirecting Covid relief and other funds - none of those things are paid for whether they’re redirected or not.
