It’s become a joke under the Biden administration just what constitutes “infrastructure.” Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley went on MSNBC to push for passage of the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act and later tweeted the video, confirming that not only are roads and bridges infrastructure, but also child care, paid leave, community-based services, climate resilience, and housing.
Housing is infrastructure. Child care is infrastructure. Paid leave is infrastructure.
The people gave us a mandate & we’re holding the line. We must advance the #BuildBackBetterAct to address the needs of the people before we move the narrow roads and bridges bill. pic.twitter.com/4sXvPySi5B

Not sure mandate is the right word.

“Tree equity” is infrastructure.
We get it Ayanna… EVERYTHING is infrastructure in a world where you can just create new meanings for words and concepts.
— Jmansan (@johnmsan) September 28, 2021
No. Words have meaning. If you want to pass all that stuff go ahead but stop trying to conflate what infrastructure is because you’re afraid all the spending will be unpopular.

I think you need to look up the definition of infrastructure.

Good questions here:
Ayanna, looks like a few more illegals have been flown into Boston. where are they staying Ayanna? who paid for it Ayanna? Are they vaccinated Ayanna? Are they in Westwood or Needham or Newton or Weston or Brookline or Chestnut Hill or Malden? Where do you live?
