I should direct these comments to the Republicans who comprise the Texas congressional delegation.<\/p>\n

All of ’em, to a person, voted “no” on President Biden’s infrastructure proposal and on the $1.7 trillion package billed as Build Back Better.<\/p>\n

Some of them have issued harsh policy statements criticizing Biden as well as their Democratic colleagues, calling them “socialists” and “spendthrift” liberals who don’t give a damn about the national debt.<\/p>\n

Ah, yes. But … will they say “no” when the government starts parceling the money to their states or congressional districts? Hardly!<\/p>\n

Indeed, I fully expect some of them to actually use these improvements as grist for their re-election efforts in 2022 and beyond. Will they realize or recognize the hypocrisy of that message? Not even, man!<\/p>\n
