$8.2 Billion from the President’s Investing in America Agenda to Deliver Transformative Passenger Rail in America

President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda – a key pillar of Bidenomics – is delivering world class-infrastructure across the country, expanding access to economic opportunity, and creating good-paying jobs. By delivering $66 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – the largest investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak 50 years ago – President Biden is delivering on his vision to rebuild America and win the global competition for the 21st century.

Sounds great on paper but there's tons that can go wrong. Don't forget all those billions that got paid or for national Internet infrastructure that the cable companies just pocketed.

I'll save my praise for when the trains start running.

Yeah, we should really nationalize that infrastructure.

That won't be until well after 2024.

And the Biden critics are working hard to get Trump re-elected and ensure all these projects get shitcanned before completion anyway.
