There’s probably a better chance that he’ll bring up his dead son Beau and get some ice cream than get a lucid discussion of ‘climate change’, which even Warmists probably do not want to hear. They will want to know about aid for getting nailed with a post-tropical storm, not how the government will tax them, raise their cost of living, and restrict their freedom and choice
Biden May Bring Up Climate Change When He Tours Ida Damage In The Northeast
President Biden on Tuesday will survey damage from the remnants of Hurricane Ida in New York and New Jersey, which killed more than 40 people. The visit comes after a few tumultuous weeks for Biden.
The piece is an NPR 3 minute listen, if you want to hit the link. It boils down to Joe wandering around, getting lost, sounding like he’s barely awake, barely lucid, and discussing his “infrastructure” plan. Because other Democrats are pushing this
Ida Damage Shows Need for Infrastructure Funding, Lawmakers Agree, But Divides Persist on Bills
Shaken by haunting images of surging rivers, flooded roads and subways and other damage caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida, lawmakers from both parties are vowing to upgrade the nation’s aging infrastructure network.
As the deadly storm moved from the Gulf Coast through the Northeast, members of Congress said the deluge offered irrefutable evidence that power lines, roads, bridges and other infrastructure are deteriorating even as storms and other extreme weather are strengthening.
“Global warming is upon us,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “When you get two record rainfalls in a week (in New York City), it’s not just coincidence. When you get all the changes that we have seen in weather, that’s not a coincidence. … It’s going to get worse and worse and worse, unless we do something about it.”
Schumer and other lawmakers said the catastrophe is the latest example of why the nation needs the nearly trillion-dollar infrastructure bill passed by the Senate last month. He and other Democrats also are calling for passage of President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion, partisan rebuilding plan aimed at helping families and combating climate change.
Using a tragedy to push the beliefs of a doomsday cult, while refusing to make changes in their own lives that match their cult beliefs.
Biden made a pitch Friday for the bipartisan bill, saying it “is going to change things on our streets across the country.” He cited the bill’s “historic investment” in roads, rail and bridges, as well as clean energy, clean water and universal broadband.
“It’s about resilience,” Biden said. “Make our roads and highways safer. Make us more resilient to the kinds of devastating impacts from extreme weather we’re seeing in so many parts of the country.”
The plan includes $110 billion to build and repair roads and bridges and $66 billion to upgrade railroads. It also includes about $60 billion to upgrade the electric grid and build thousands of miles of transmission lines to expand use of renewable energy and nearly $47 billion to adapt and rebuild roads, ports and bridges to help withstand damage from stronger storms as well as wildfires and drought.
Strangely, the infrastructure bill only spends less than a quarter of the cost on infrastructure.
