The top 45 money-wasting projects in the regime's $2.5 TRILLION so-called "infrastructure bill"

Warning:  Do NOT read the following if you've recently eaten dinner, or have heart problems, or pay taxes, or have a strong reaction to stupidity!

Yesterday the miserable crew of liars and thieves camping in the White House released a bull sheet of the regime's pork-laden, bullshit-filled $2.5 trillion spending bill (which they've disingenuously called an "infrastructure bill") listing the 45 items stealing or otherwise wasting the most money.  

As you read the outrageous word-salad below, try to imagine how much a BILLION dollars is.  Imagine how much this program will end up costing your grandchildren, since all the money must be borrowed.  Imagine how many government officials will retire with ten million bucks of kickback in their retirement accounts due to this.  Brace yourselves:

2. $213 billion to produce, preserve, and retrofit more than two million affordable and sustainable places to live.
