Senator Barrasso Talks Infrastructure
U.S. Senator John Barrasso, while visiting Sheridan and Buffalo Thursday, stopped by Sheridan Media to sit down for a quick interview with reporter Ron Richter.
Senator Barrasso offered his thoughts on President Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan and how it differs from what Republicans view as infrastructure.
Senator Barrasso said the taxes associated with paying for the infrastructure plan would have a profound effect on every American.
I asked the senator to weigh-in on the recent controversy involving another member of Wyoming’s delegation.
Senator Barrasso also discussed an investigative report that he recently released and President Biden’s energy policies. We’ll have more on those topics in a future story.

Yep, this dishonorable man slips in and out of the area. He’s for good reason afraid to really show himself out in public, just smoozes with the money. Don’t trust him, he said nothing when his party supporters stormed the US Capitol, trying to overthrow a legitimate election. He says nothing to correct the lie that the election was stolen. He doesn’t want, or probably know how to govern, just wants to try and get himself and cronies back into the power, status and money. Not really concerned about well being of country or citizens, self serving all the way. Hey, Dr – when your party held the reins where was your grand health care plan, your investment in country’s infrastructure? Now mission is to interfere with any real efforts to improve things so he, and the repubs, can line their pockets, shine in the status, and pull levers for their moneyed friends.

Im not a fan of Barrasso, but when will team joe visit the southern border to inspect the catastrophic crisis that they allowed to happen there? How many covid infected illegals have been allowed to enter the US without even being so much as quarantined? Whos going to pay for all of the spending bills that the legislators and joe are ramming through congress?

Less than 50% of this bill is directed at actual infrastructure, and only around $650 billion addresses roads and bridges. $400 billion will go to “green energy” credits. $400 billion toward expanding access to quality, affordable home- or community-based care for aging relatives and people with disabilities. $213 billion to produce, preserve, and retrofit more than two million affordable and sustainable places to live. $174 billion to win the electric vehicle market. $20 billion for a program that will reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments and ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity and environmental justice, and promote affordable access, and much much more! So what will be the legislators cut?
By the way, John, next time you come to Sheridan, or visit any town in WY, set up a venue for a Q&A session with your constituents. The people have questions.

A good Man, he understands money and the “True Cost” of spending it in ways that really only push a leftist agenda. John is good for Wyoming, and understands that the “Gift” of spending money we don’t have will put our Children in economic duress down the road…..This liberal spending has to stop! Our Children and Grandchildren are going to suffer………..
