As House members debate Democrats’ $1.5 trillion infrastructure spending package, Republicans have voiced opposition, saying it is not a true bipartisan infrastructure bill that addresses the needs of their districts but rather a socialist wish-list largely taken from the Green New Deal.
“The Speaker has chosen to spend the House’s time this week on a cousin of the Green New Deal masquerading as a highway bill,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Twitter. “You don’t have to take my word for it. The Chair of the @TranportDems said, ‘This is the application of the principles of the Green New Deal.’”
