The bipartisan infrastructure bill has been passed by the senate, and many are excited about the prospects that this can bring, particularly the American Trucking Association. The bill aims to repair roads and bridges, which has a big impact on the trucking industry.
This $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 bill has passed the senate, but that isn’t the end finish line. It still must pass in the House of Representatives, and the House isn’t very united on such a costly bill.
The Republican Party wants to maneuver so that this bill may pass in the House as quickly and seamlessly as it did in the Senate.
The Democratic Party is split in two on what they would like to accomplish with the bill. Moderates would like it to be sped up to the president’s desk as it is, an infrastructure bill. The more liberal Democrats want the bill passed only if it is consolidated with a $3.5 trillion budget to spend on Democratic policy goals like overhauls to healthcare, education, immigration, and the tax code. There is supposed no Republican support for this consolidation.
All of this is going on about two weeks before Congress comes back from recess. They must have this budget figured out by the week of August 23.
What happens with all this politicking will be decided, maybe, by the end of the month.

A bunch of BS, IN,OH, and a few more raised the tax fuel for trucks only to fix road and bridges a few year back, most of this money will go stupid shit like ATS
Please look again at the bill again. This infrastructure bill is full of pork, taxing independent truckers, tracking and snooping on not only us truckers, but all Americans. Not about trucking, it’s about being a free people
Just unsubscribed after reading this.
Person writing it is obviously not an objective journalist. Just someone trying to interject their political opinion. They did get one point correct. ” Republicans do not support policy goals like overhauls to healthcare, education, immigration, and the tax code.
Why can’t the panderers in the Swamp just write a simple bill that covers just the thing it is supposed to cover without all of the unconstitutional pandering? The last dozen or so “highway bills” had more unrelated pork than a Jimmy Dean’s sausage. This one is no different, except it will be signed by a moron (and I’m being generous with that diagnosis) who can’t even tell you where he is or what day of the week it is.
We can’t afford it!!!!! Why is this hard to understand? Oh that’s right , commies and rinos don’t care
Perhaps you haven’t noticed that none of the media outlets are referring you to the actual bill to reference yourself. I can’t stress enough how important this point is. Every journalist is trained extensively the importance of citation and sourcing. Why then, when you Google information about this bill, do none of them ever refer to it by it’s actual name, or provide you a link so you can verify what it says yourself? This is pretty much the case with most legislation that the fake media wants to filter for you and prevent you from reading. I also find it funny that, ahem, some outlets call it a 1 trillion dollar legislation, others, 1.2. What’s a mere fifth of a trillion to our politicians, anyway?
So now you can stop wondering, because your friendly neighborhood trucker/master’s of legal studies will provide you with the left-out name of the bill and direct link to congress so you don’t have to waste what little time you have trying to find and verify exactly what the bill says, and not what biased journalists want you to think it says. And you don’t have to go around sounding like a “dumb” trucker talking about “some bill”:

The more articles I read from this rag just reinforces the notion that it’s no different from the rest of the bought and paid for Communist media propagandists spewing the leftist agenda to please their puppeteers. You’ll be marked as spam from here on .
