[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just heard one of the many interviews today and the “everything bagel” analogy really hit home.  By trying to do everything at once, they get nothing done . Basically the Biden admin sabatoged the IIJA and IRA by saddling every project with a whole bunch of social justice demands.  Instead of just saying “go ahead and build infrastructure”, the said you also have to solve environmental justice and ensure more women are on construction sites, and your subcontractors must all be minority owned business = and guess what - nothing got done and now all the projects are getting cancelled so we have no infrastructure investment, and none of the social engineering goals as well.

That’s not why those programs didn’t get off the ground.  I mean some of it is problematic but honestly a lot of the tediousness of the grant award process had to do with the mapping.  Republicans were beating the drum about not “overbuilding” and Dems overcomplied. Better to overbuild and apologize later.[/quote]
