On Saturday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about one of the provisions in the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. The Bill included $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of American.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

“In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans. Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds. In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at earliest,\u201d the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the Biden Admin has been layering a partisan political agenda on top of this $42.45B program \u2013 a liberal wish list that has nothing to do with connecting Americans. Climate change mandates, tech biases, DEI requirements, favoring government-run networks + more,\u201d he continued.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carr is specifically slamming the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, which allocated<\/a> $42.45 billion to support broadband infrastructure and adoption.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The program was established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), otherwise known as the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill. The bill had no conservative victories and had many leftist carveouts, as Breitbart News detailed<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Carr continued, saying that the BEAD program fails to close the \u201cdigital divide,\u201d or the gap between with those with high-speed internet and those without.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Biden Administration is barreling towards a broadband blunder. Congress has appropriated enough money to end the digital divide, but the Biden Administration is squandering the moment by putting partisan political goals above smart policy,\u201d the FCC commissioner explained. \u201cIt is doing so through rate regulation, through union, technology, and DEI preferences, and through a thumb on the scale for government run networks. All of this threatens to leave rural communities behind.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

You would think that at some point the Republicans in Congress would learn that the bills that the Democrats want bi-partisan support on are never what they appear to be. This was another spending boondoggle that the Republicans stupidly endorsed. We need new Republicans who won’t be fooled (or bribed) by the Democrats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
