so support these investments is to create a rising america, an america that is moving. to oppose these investments is to be complicit in america's decline. to support these bills is to pursue a broader vision of our nation and to oppose them is to accept a very cramped view of our future. this isn't about two pieces of legislation. it's about the inflection point i mentioned earlier we are in our history, the world history. so here's what i'm proposing. first, the infrastructure bill. it's about rebuilding our roads, our highways, our bridges, our ports, our airports, our broadband, all of the things that need repair. our arteries of our economy have always been fueled by the economic dynamism of americans. across the country right now, 45,000 bridges and 173,000 miles of roads, according to engineers, the site of engineers, are in poor condition. right now. including more than 1200 bridges that the governor has been fighting to repair here in your state. 7,300 miles of roads here in michigan. i'll bet everyone in this room can tell me what the most dangerous intersecti

we may be in the waning years of america as a democracy. i know. i know. i know. that sounds like hyperbole. hear me out. one of the two major republican parties has surrendered completely to narcissistic autocrat donald trump and the cancer of the big lie spread throughout the party's ranks. we now have republican members of congress openly musing about civil war with marjorie three names of georgia polling her supporters as to whether they would support a national divorce. spoiler alert. they do. the republicans hope to turn this country into is so unthinkable. think texas except everywhere. with the despicable donald trump as maybe the permanent president completely unleashed with full control of the justice department, the military, the cia, the fbi, et cetera, et cetera, plus the nuclear codes. even as we speak, republicans when not banning books about race or putting abortion bounties on women or nuking the right to vote for anyone who isn't on their team are hurriedly installing hand picked trump loyalists into every realm of government packing local electi

chai, what can america afford? >> americans can afford this budget reconciliation without the fears that republicans are raising. but the republicans are saying what they're saying for a very clear and easy reason. what they want to do is they want to make sure that every dollar in democratic spending, spending for working class families, goes toward a future tax cut for the rich. now, they can't say that. they can't say, we can't give a child tax credit, we can't give money to working families for their children because we want to make sure the rich people can afford to give more money to their children. they can't say that, only iran would be excited by such a message. instead they use this high-minded rhetoric about the deficit, about inflation, concern for future generations, when they don't have any actual concern for future generations. if they did, they certainly would be singing a different tune on climate change. they would be singing a different tune on education spending. they certainly would be singing
