Republican senators say they fully support fixing infrastructure, but oppose President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure package because includes unrelated items that unnecessarily increase the national debt.
“It’s mostly not spending money on infrastructure and so it seems that they have established no upper bound limit on how much we spend, no questions have been answered about what needs to be a state responsibility, what needs to be a federal responsibility, or how we pay for it,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) told Fox News on Thursday.
