Annie Andersen: HEY EVERYONE FROM DC I’M ANNIE ANDERSEN IN– CHIEF POLITICAL PRODUCER. HERE AT STRAIGHT ARROW.
TODAY – THE BIG CHEESE IS IN AMERICA’S CHEESE LAND.
PRESIDENT BIDEN JETTED OFF TO WISCONSIN — – TO PUSH HIS INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN.
THE LATEST VERSION OF HIS PLAN IS JUST UNDER A TRILLION DOLLARS AND CUTS BACK ON A LOT OF THE EXPANDED INFRASTRUCTURE HE WAS HOPING FOR..
IT FOCUSES ON TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE.. ROADS BRIDGES PORTS, AIRPORTS- THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
EVEN SO — WHILE VISITING A PLANT IN LA CROSSE WISCONSIN BIDEN SAID EVEN THIS ITERATION PROMISES MILLIONS OF NEW JOBS.
President Biden: “This is the answer for good-paying jobs not just in our biggest cities along the coast, but small towns across the country… a blue-collar blueprint to rebuild America.”
Annie Andersen: WILL THIS THING ACTUALLY HAPPEN?
EVEN AS BOTH SIDES COME CLOSER TO A DEAL — —
THERE’S ONE – NOT SO SMALL – ISSUE.
JUST LIKE IN MY LIFE– THE QUESTION IS HOW TO PAY FOR ALL THE THINGS I WANT.
THAT’S THE TYPE OF THING THAT KEEPS ECONOMISTS UP AT NIGHT.
THE NONPARTISAN TAX POLICY CENTER SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO PAY FOR MUCH OF IT WITH QUOTE “PIXIE DUST”
WAIT- IF THAT’S A THING, TINKERBELL NEEDS TO BE MY BEST FRIEND.
THE TAX POLICY CENTER GOES ON SAYING THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO RAISE MONEY- CUTTING DOWN ON SPENDING OR RAISING TAXES AND THIS PLAN DOESN’T DO MUCH OF EITHER.
BUT WITH THE RECENT BRIDGE COLLAPSE IN WASHINGTON DC AND THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE GETTING A C MINUS GRADE ON INFRASTRUCTURE — THIS WILL BE A PRIORITY FOR CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
