This is exactly the type of stuff taxes should be used to pay for. Stuff that benefits everyone. Oh also healthcare for the population.

And because you pay taxes its your own money. And this is exactly the sort of thing you pay it for. For it to come back to you in some way, shape or form.

Oh the irony of you accusing others of blame-shifting. I've lost count of how many times you've tried to blame Trump for Biden's f***-ups.
On the latter, Trump pushed through a bill that was against human rights, so Biden is fixing a problem he caused. As for the former, Trump and Biden both wanted to end the war, Trump failed to do so, Biden succeeded.

Seriously though, it was arresting illegal immigrants and separating from their children who had to remain in Mexico. Separating children from their parents with no plan or means of survival is against human rights.
Trump's policy was quite literally 'if you come here, we will take your children', that was the deterrent, never seeing your kids again. He's punishing children for the "crimes" of their parents.

If it was up to Republicans, the only taxes they'd pay would be for the military so everyone can get jobs in the US military. You know, to stop fascism.
They're completely cool with fascism now as long as it's one of theirs, what they want to fight against is the socialism bogeyman.
1988, after 8 years of Reagan ending with a recession, Biden runs for president and fails.
2008, after 8 years of Bush ending with a recession, Biden runs for president and fails.
2020, after 4 years of Trump ending with a recession and a pandemic, Biden runs for president and wins.
Just thought I'd point that out. 🙂
NY Man Charged for Death Threat Over Infrastructure Vote

Representative Fred Upton revealed on Monday that he received a threatening voicemail just days after voting for the bipartisan infrastructure bill.A person called him and left a message saying, "I hope you die. I hope everybody in your ****ing family dies," the caller reportedly added that the Republican lawmaker was a "****ing piece of shit traitor."
The Michigan lawmaker's office said that the threatening voicemail was not an isolated incident. After the vote, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called the Republicans who supported the legislation "traitors" in a Tweet.
A recent vote for President Biden's bipartisan infrastructure bill has developed into a controversial, life-threatening exercise for Representative Andrew Garbarino, a New York Republican who broke with his party to support the legislation.
Nassau Police confirmed that Kenneth Gasper was arrested and charged with aggravated harassment for a death threat he made to Garbarino, according to Detective Lieutenant Richard LeBrun.
"It's amazing people want to kill me over paving roads and clean water," Garbarino said. "The misinformation out there about this bill is so bad that I'm getting death threats."

New York is one of the places that desperately needs the spending. The subway is falling apart. Imagine being so blinkered by political hatred that you'd rather your representatives die than support a proposition by the "other side" even though it'd benefit you.
On paper they should be the most self sufficient state in the US, considering how many uber rich elites live there. A true left wing government as NY has should be swimming in tax dollars.
