AOC pans bipartisan deals, casting shadow over infrastructure push

“Usually . . . when these bipartisan deals come together, they tend to underserve the communities that are already underserved,” Ocasio-Cortez told MSNBC. “Not only do those communities get left behind and cut out in these bipartisan deals, but corporate interests gets centered in these deals, as well.” The nearly $1 trillion framework endorsed by 11 Republicans, nine Democrats and independent Sen. Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with the Democrats, reportedly calls for about $579 billion in new spending, including $110 billion on roads and highways, $66 billion on passenger and freight rail and $48 billion on public transit. An additional $47 billion would go toward efforts to fight climate change and there is money for electric vehicle charging stations.
