Biden “Infrastructure” Plan Not Enough; AOC Wants $10 Trillion

It’s only money…

In more proof that some people will never be happy, Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has voiced her displeasure with Joe Biden’s massive new “infrastructure” bill.

Riding on a wave of media hype, Biden traveled to Pittsburgh on Wednesday where he announced his signature “American Jobs Plan,” a budget-busting boondoggle that seeks to appease the most far-left elements of the party base while leading to likely job losses for productive workers.

But AOC wasn’t impressed and said so during an appearance on MSNBC flagship, “The Rachel Maddow” show and while giving some credit to Biden, huffed that it’s just “not enough” for the noisy “progressives” who have become a major influence in the fully-radicalized party due to their ability to be social media influencers.

Via The Hill, “Ocasio-Cortez eyeing $10T over 10 years for infrastructure”:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) late Wednesday called President Biden’s $2.25 trillion infrastructure package “encouraging,” but said the U.S. could need as much as $10 trillion over 10 years to invest in infrastructure and boost jobs and other priorities across the country.

“The vision that President Biden and the administration has laid out … has surprised a lot of us in a positive way and in the detail and the thought that’s here, the scope of it, is really encouraging,” Ocasio-Cortez told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

However, the progressive lawmaker added that she has “serious concerns that it’s not enough,” calling for officials to “go way higher.”

Ocasio-Cortez said that the U.S. could “realistically” need $10 trillion over 10 years to “create tens of millions of good union jobs in this country, that can shore up our health care, our infrastructure, our housing, and doing it in a way that draws down our carbon emissions.”

“I know that may by an eye-popping figure for some people, but we need to understand that we are in a devastating economic moment. Millions of people in the United States are unemployed. We have a truly crippled health care system and a planetary crisis on our hands, and we’re the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. So we can do $10 trillion,” she told Maddow.

AOC may talk a good game – actually she just launders DNC talking points to her brainless followers – but when it comes to doing the job, she is as worthless as tits on a boar, at least according to a survey from the Center for Effective Lawmaking.

Via The New York Post, “Study declares AOC one of the least effective members of Congress”:

She’s the queen of Twitter — but less successful at lawmaking.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among the least effective members of the last Congress according to a new survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking — a joint project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.

AOC introduced a total of 21 bills which the center defined as “substantive” — but that is where the story ends. Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from Congress.gov.

“She introduced a lot of bills, but she was not successful at having them receive any sort of action in committee or beyond committee and if they can’t get through committee they cannot pass the House,” Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and co-director of the center, told The Post.

She’s really more of an actress than anything else, one popular video from a couple of years ago made that claim.

Whether or not there is any truth in it, there is no arguing that going from bartender to Congress to media superstar is truly a modern-day Cinderella story.
