It will put plumbers and pipefitters to work replacing all of the nation\u2019s lead water pipes so every child and every American can turn on the faucet at home or school and drink clean water \u2014 including in low-income communities and communities of color that have been disproportionally affected by dangerous lead pipes.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>And, we\u2019re going to do it without raising taxes by one cent on people making less than $400,000 a year \u2014 no gas tax increase and no fee on electric vehicles.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>According to a White House <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/07\/28\/fact-sheet-historic-bipartisan-infrastructure-deal\/\"><span>fact sheet<\/span><\/a><span>, the bill contains $550 billion in new federal spending \u2014 including \u201cthe largest federal investment in public transit ever\u201d and \u201cthe largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The following are key portions of the bill:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><span>Roads and bridges ($110 billion): \u201cThe Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will invest $110 billion of new funds for roads, bridges, and major projects, and reauthorize the surface transportation program for the next five years building on bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bills passed out of committee earlier this year.

Modern, resilient, and sustainable port, airport, and freight infrastructure will support U.S. competitiveness by removing bottlenecks and expediting commerce and reduce the environmental impact on neighboring communities.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>The Senate may begin debate on the legislation as soon as Wednesday night.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
