On Monday, passage looked likely for the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which has received bipartisan support and was slowly wending through Congress.

Among other items, the legislation calls for $550 billion in new federal spending on transportation, utilities and broadband systems. The proposal is the second part of President Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda for the country's economic recovery.

The current bill represents the most significant investment in American infrastructure since the establishment of the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has said. Collins is one of 10 senators who has negotiated the spending package.

Yes (68%, 231 VOTES)
No (32%, 107 VOTES)

    BUT... The crypto currency part of this package should be stripped out of the bill.

    More unfunded liability heaped upon the shoulders of hard working already highly taxed middle class Maine people. Our grand children will pay the price.
