I've never met a corn farmer, but somehow the corn ends up on my plate.

Where are the CHIPs then? Oh but at least our infrastructure was rebuilt. Right?

In the google results, if you had bothered to google. It turns out $50B was enough to tip the investment calculus on half a dozen large projects and a dozen or so smaller ones.

So tell me: was it learned helplessness or partisan hackery that made you severely underestimate what turned out to be possible?

My opinion comes from my personal experience with CHiPs funded projects but admittedly thats merely anecdotal knowledge so I’m very glad to hear that Biden’s “biggest ever!”(tm) inflation reduction package met its goals and wasn’t just money printing and political cronyism. Imagine where we would be without all those new chip fabs and infrastructure fixes you mentioned finding in your Google search. You’re right, that was 50 billion, give or take, well spent!
