Only About 25 Percent of Joe Biden’s $2.5 Trillion Spending Bill Funds Basic Infrastructure

President Joe Biden detailed his massive infrastructure spending proposal Wednesday, but only about 25 percent of the $2.5 trillion bill funds basic infrastructure, according to a fact sheet summary of the bill.

The proposal spends roughly $639 billion on traditional infrastructure, including $115 billion to revamp highways and roads.

Biden would only invest $25 billion in airports and $17 billion for coastal ports, land ports of entry, and ferries.

On rail infrastructure, Biden proposes spending much more with $85 billion to modernize existing transit systems and $80 billion to fix Amtrak’s repair backlog.

Biden proposes to spend $111 billion to replace the country’s lead pipes and service lines, as well as upgrades to drinking, waste, and stormwater systems.

He also calls for $100 billion in spending to build high-speed broadband infrastructure across the country and $100 billion for electric transmission systems.
