OPINION:
The real infrastructure projects will take 12 to 15 years to get done — if they ever clear the activist legal assaults (“Biden administration unveils transportation projects set to boost vulnerable Dem states,” Web, Aug. 13). The major projects underway today include many of the “shovel-ready” programs approved in former President Barack Obama’s stimulus in 2009. The Democrats know it, so they are pushing bike paths to the front of the line because the activists want them.
If I were Herschel Walker, I would run an ad showing the rich elites one Sunday on their beloved bike paths — and and then pan to the empty shelves and myriad shortages in the real life neighborhoods where most people live. Then I’d demand to know why my political opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock, Georgia Democrat, is pushing bike paths for the wealthy and ignoring the real needs of the working and middle classes.
This whole idea is a stunning display of leftist-bubble thought. Let them try to explain how bike paths put food on the table.
The Democrats have left themselves wide open to this line of attack — so let’s hit them where it hurts.
