Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., accused President Joe Biden of not paying attention to “good-faith,” bipartisan efforts on infrastructure while Democrats force their progressive policies on the U.S.
Scott made his remarks in a column posted by USA Today on Tuesday.
“There should be debate over what commonsense, common-defined infrastructure looks like,” he said. “As I said in my response to (Biden’s) joint address to Congress, Republicans support everything you think of when you think of “infrastructure.” Roads, bridges, ports, airports, waterways, high-speed broadband – we’re all in.
“This administration has been ignoring good-faith, bipartisan efforts. Democrats have tried to slip in numerous partisan, progressive policies, including increasing the corporate tax rate to one of the highest percentages in the world. This would only disadvantage hardworking Americans and hike up inflation. Six percent of Biden’s plan goes to roads and bridges.. Where does the other 94% go? To a liberal wish list of Big Government waste, funded by the biggest job-killing tax hikes in a generation.”
