President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rebuild our roads and bridges, deliver clean water and high speed internet to every household, and usher in a new era of clean energy. @POTUS is #BuildingABetterAmerica.
How did the U.S. end up with a C- grade on infrastructure? “You get what you pay for,” Sec. Pete Buttigieg tells @andersoncooper. “And for pretty much as long as I’ve been alive, our country has been under-investing in public things.”
