It also makes the biggest investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak and the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>FALLACY: The bill is only 10-30% real infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The bipartisan infrastructure bill is\u00a0100% real infrastructure. It funds $1.2 trillion in physical infrastructure, including $550 billion in new funds for much needed investment. Here\u2019s how it breaks down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>ACT: The bill precipitates a resilient energy independent future for the U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The infrastructure bill\u2019s energy provisions direct funding for traditional fossil fuels and the technologies needed to capture and remove carbon emissions, as well as advanced nuclear, renewables, and batter technology. It also expands access to domestically sourced critical minerals and finances the retrofitting and \u201chardening\u201d of power grids so that our communities can better withstand the impact of natural disasters.&nbsp;The strict 100% renewable energy mandates of the Green New Deal are NOT a part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>FALLACY: The bill will lead to increased inflation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Unlike the reckless multi-trillion reconciliation bill that will increase inflation, the bipartisan infrastructure legislation is an investment over several years into infrastructure assets that will benefit our economy for decades.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanactionforum.org\/daily-dish\/infrastructure-and-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Economists agree<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;that making improvements to roads, bridges, ports, airports, railways, and other transport routes will allow businesses to operate more cost-effectively, and ultimately result in consumer savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>FACT: This is a fiscally responsible bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">According to an analysis by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu\/issues\/2021\/6\/15\/economic-effects-of-infrastructure-investment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Penn Wharton<\/u><\/a>, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will lead to a decrease in the national deficit and is a net benefit to the economy over the next 30 years. As companies and workers join projects financed by the bill, earn paychecks, and spend money in our economy, government revenue from personal income and business tax will rise, ultimately lessening the deficit and lowering our debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>FALLACY: There\u2019s no way to pay for the bill.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The bipartisan infrastructure bill repurposes existing reserves of more than $225 billion from unused unemployment insurance and unused COVID aid to finance projects in the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>FACT: The bill is an answer to the modern infrastructure challenges of today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The last World Economic Forum&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www3.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_TheGlobalCompetitivenessReport2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Competitiveness Report<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;ranked the United States 13th in the world for overall quality of infrastructure. Not only does the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act solve for elemental health and safety problems like lead drinking water pipes and aging roadways, but it also meets our nation\u2019s needs of today through investment in modern public transit, improvements to ports, waterways, and airports, and expanded access to internet connectivity. These things are fundamental for people and businesses to thrive, be competitive, and pursue their dreams in 21st century America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The truth is that the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act meets the moment of the modern American Dream. And it couldn\u2019t have come at a more timely stage in our economic recovery.
