Deflection effort doesn't make this less than a good thing for bridge builders and shoring up our aging infrastructure. It was Biden's plank and it was enacted as a joint cause. So yeah, Congress funded it; that's their job since the President doesn't finance those things under his authority.Putting aside the fact that Congress, not the White House appropriated the funding, not sure how many voters will notice the impact of $394 million spread across 16 states. The federal budget is > $6 trillion this FY.
Common sense. Give credit were it is due—a joint effort.
BTW, Congress could have funded the border bill and put devices into place to reduce drug smuggling, but didn't. Why? I suppose it was due to Trump telling Johnson not to fund the border since it was his main running plank at the time. Trump wasn't interested in bridge building, [irony here intended], so he let that one get through.
