Republicans an obstacle to American progress

We finally have a plan to fix our crumbling infrastructure. President Biden has fought all odds, mainly Republicans, to accomplish this.

It will mean thousands of good-paying jobs for the middle class and provide much-needed services for our rural communities. Chattanooga needs this as much as any city. When we drive anywhere, there are potholes and rough roads. It will bring broadband to those who have been left out of the high-tech revolution.

Republicans have fought any bill that might take our country forward. Their only goal now is power for power’s sake. Unfortunately, those who have not traveled outside of the U.S., or their own county, don’t realize how archaic our airports and train lines are. Our bridges are dangerous, as was demonstrated by the near-fatal flaw in Memphis.

We must work together with a common goal to make the United States safe for all our citizens We have one party that is working to make this happen and one party that is obstructing everything that might help the average citizen. Instead, they are just catering to the top 1%.
