The guy has succeeded in actually pumping BILLIONS into the American economy ….
Yet you never would know it….
Unlike Donald Trump who is a walking bill board?
Biden hardly EVER gets media coverage to sell much of anything…..
(Nor does his admin send his people out sell the acmplishments either)
Most of the money from President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure bill is being handed out this summer and fall, nearly a year after passage, just in time for a campaign season he hopes will keep his fellow Democrats in power. But his team’s task is getting people to pay attention — and give them credit for what they did.
Starting Tuesday, Biden administration officials will start a weeks-long blitz across the country — including in many midterm battleground states, where they’ll appear with governors, senators and members of Congress — with a pitch focused on generating local attention and media coverage, either through in-person or virtual events with local officials.
This comes after multiple conversations over the summer with the Cabinet secretaries most focused on implementing the projects in which infrastructure coordinator Mitch Landrieustressed that they’d been selling the bill all wrong. They were talking too much about the win in Washington and less about how they projects would make a difference in people’s lives….

There are over 5,300 infrastructure projects getting underway across the country — in every state, and multiple in every congressional district, from the smaller ones Landrieu refers to as “spreading the peanut butter” of the law’s funding to the massive ones Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has dubbed their “cathedral” projects. They range from laying wires for rural broadband to modernizing the terminals at Los Angeles International Airport. Administration officials hope that gives them enough to make infrastructure interesting — a perpetual problem for politicians, regardless of how many voters say it’s important to them.
“The conversation in Washington has always been about the next fight, the next hill, the next bill — so much so that I think some folks seeing the tug of war over ‘Build Back Better’ kind of lost track of the fact that the infrastructure law passed,” said Buttigieg, referring to the struggle over Biden’s signature legislative package that was eventually passed in a scaled-back version earlier in August after months of intraparty squabbling…..
