'Republicans should not vacate its leadership on infrastructure,' Rep. Bacon said, adding the $1.3 trillion law is needed for the U.S. to 'compete with trade.'
"Ninety-five percent is going to infrastructure," Bacon responded."And by the way, 84 percent of it was paid for by cuts in other areas, so I disagree with your analysis on that. The infrastructure bill was needed. America spends 2 percent of its GDP on infrastructure. Canada spends 4 percent. Europe spends 5 percent."
The GOP lawmaker added that the U.S. needed the bill to"compete with trade and commerce," and that Trump supported similar legislation during his tenure as president. "Republicans should not vacate its leadership on infrastructure," Bacon said, adding he would defend it because"America needs it" in order to compete in the global economy.
In a tweet on Saturday, Bacon wrote that he"appreciated having the opportunity to correct misinformation concerning the Hard Infrastructure Bill." I was on FOX to discuss the railroad contract and China policy. I also appreciated having the opportunity to correct misinformation concerning the Hard Infrastructure Bill.
