The state of New York has been neglecting road maintenance for years and doubtless could use a nice big federal handout to fill some potholes. It's really noticable driving down thru the eastern states. Roads in New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and others are in fine shape. Cross the New York border and the pot holes attack. Many of the TV commentators (those that are not working from DC) are stationed in New York City. They have to drive on New York's beat up roads every day. They seldom get out of New York into real America and so they think that all the roads in America are as bad as New York roads.
So, now that Biden is appeasing the road contractors and welfare recipients with a big juicy federal "infrastructure" bill, the TV people are all in favor, even when the "infrastructure" bill is nearing $4 TRILLION and is mostly welfare spending and not anything you or I would recognize as infrastructure.
Anyhow the TV people are talking about the infrastructure bill and how we ought to pass it.
