On Sunday, Buttigieg said AOC\u2019s proposal was bolder than the already proposed $2 trillion plan.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: &#8220;The vision the president has put forward is fully paid for,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecretaryPete?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SecretaryPete<\/a> of Pres.

Recently, AOC urged Joe Biden to push for a $10 trillion bill, which she claimed to be \u201crealistic.\u201d However, Buttigieg argued the bill has more than enough funding to develop America\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are obviously a lot of people on the other side of the aisle saying, \u2018This is too big, too bold,\u201d Buttigieg stated. \u201cAnd then, some of our friends on our side of the aisle are saying: It should be even bolder.\u2019 Again, that\u2019s a natural part of this conversation and this process, but let me stress, this is the biggest investment in American job creation proposed or, if achieved, since World War II. This is a huge deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans criticized the infrastructure bill for allocating only five percent of its budget for traditional infrastructure maintenance.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-fails-to-mention-jesus-in-easter-address-speaks-of-covid\/\">Biden Fails To Mention Jesus In \u2018Easter Address,\u2019 Speaks Of COVID<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.
