Blunt: Biden 'infrastructure' bill should be 30% of current level, slams partisan add-ons as 'big mistake'
Fox News
President Biden's massive spending plan needs to be cut by around 70% for Republicans to get on board, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., suggested on "Fox News Sunday."
The multitrillion-dollar proposal includes a $400 billion expenditure on care for the elderly and disabled, as well as billions more on allocations unrelated to infrastructure. Blunt said his advice to the White House is to focus on "traditional" infrastructure improvements, and leave out any extras for later. "I think it's a big mistake for the administration," he said. "And I also think it would be an easy victory if we go back and look at roads and bridges and ports and airports and maybe even underground water systems and broadband. You'd still be talking about less than 30% of this entire package, and it’s an easily doable 30%."More Related News
