It’s like it’s his first time learning just how inefficient our government is.
Comedian and late night host Jon Stewart is obviously pretty liberal, and has been a big critic of the Donald Trump administration in its efforts to cut the government through Elon Musk’s DOGE. But after this one, you’ve gotta think he at least understands why it might be necessary.
In case you weren’t aware, the Joe Biden administration included $42 billion in its 2021 infrastructure spending package to expand broadband internet access to 25 million homes that didn’t have access to high speed internet. Sounds great, right?
Well here we are 4 years later and not a SINGLE new home has been added to broadband as a result of that $42 billion. That’s right, zero.
It was meant to serve the underserved. It ended up serving no one but lawyers and the bureaucracy, unwittingly paid for those underserved it was supposed to bring into the 21st century. Sounds like a form of slavery to me.
