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.

Would the federal $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, if passed, be a good thing for Maine?
Yes (68%, 231 VOTES)
No (32%, 107 VOTES)

    If we the people would take the time to actually read through this 2,700 page pork filled expenditure of our tax dollars there would be a complete revolt. After reading through less than a third, it is sickening how much money is going to be wasted and put this country even further into debt. There is no way to tax the economy back into profitability and the earmarks in this alleged Infrastructure Bill are examples of corruption no longer being hidden. Our great grandchildren will inherit something even beyond their means to address. China will win and shortly we will be owned by China if measures aren't taken.

    We have to stop spending money we don't have. This "infrastructure bill" has too many other things tied to it. This is not free money people. It will have to come from somewhere and that will be from the people that work and pay taxes. The people that do not want to work don't care because they are taken care of, but working Mainers should care. Tax increases are coming right along with the inflation and higher prices for the goods we buy every day.
