...Buttigieg, ever the salesman, described the so-called American Jobs Plan (AJP) as “the best chance in our lifetimes to make a generational investment in infrastructure.”
...In order to sell this non-infrastructure bill, Buttigieg has had to redefine the word “infrastructure.”
Buttigieg, who was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, is either unfamiliar with this definition or is deliberately misleading Americans.
On Sunday, Buttigieg was asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if Republicans could undermine the legislation by calling it a pork barrel of left-wing social programs disguised as an infrastructure bill. Buttigieg responded with this:
I very much believe that all of these things are infrastructure, because infrastructure is the foundation that allows us to go about our lives…. To me, it makes no sense to say, I would have been for broadband, but I’m against it because it’s not a bridge. I would have been for eldercare, but I’m against it because it’s not a highway.
That’s a sophist’s way of saying that infrastructure means whatever he and the Biden administration want it to mean.
Buttigieg disingenuously claims that those who do not support federal funding for eldercare in an “infrastructure” bill are somehow against helping senior citizens, when in reality they oppose being sold a bill that isn’t as advertised....
