Pete Buttigieg’s Slush Fund
10th November 2021
Some of the $1.2 trillion to be spent pursuant to the bipartisan infrastructure bill will be devoted to true infrastructure. That portion of the money presumably would have been appropriated had Donald Trump ever gotten around to presenting, and been able to enact, an infrastructure bill.
But a goodly portion of the $1.2 trillion is pork. That money will be directed to groups favored by Democrats and in many cases will have little to do with actual infrastructure.
John Fund identifies one aspect of this problem in an article called “Pete Buttigieg’s new slush fund.”
