'Only 13 RINOs in the House voted for your Green New Deal non-infrastructure bill you are touting that wastes hundreds of millions on climate change instead of roads and bridges.'And infrastructure grants have been doled out by administrations on both sides for decades so don't act like you are the sole provider of this funding.'In December 2023 the Department of Transportation announced it would spent $645.
