If the Build Back Better “human infrastructure” bill was so great, would there be a need to rebrand (reBrandonize?) it?

WH has new slogan on infrastructure, but message the same

President Joe Biden unveiled a new slogan for his $1 trillion infrastructure package on Wednesday, but his overall message is staying largely the same.

Biden, trying to rebound from sagging poll numbers, rebranded his Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework as “Building a Better America.” He spoke at the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority, surrounded by buses and signs featuring the new slogan as he continued a weeks long tour to put greater focus on the planned spending for roads, bridges, water systems, broadband and greater resilience against climate change.

How is this in any way bipartisan? Not one Republican voted for it in the House.

The economy has revived since Biden took office, but high inflation, political polarization and the inability to fully break free of the coronavirus pandemic have all hurt his popularity. The new slogan for his big, just-passed infrastructure package says the president’s bipartisan deal will improve the country in ways well beyond repairing its aging roads and bridges.

Revived? Well, perhaps a bit from when government was closing everything down.

“We’re talking about rebuilding America, investing in America, building a better America,” Biden said.

The new slogan hews closely to Biden’s separate “Build Back Better” agenda of tax hikes on the wealthy and an expansion of education, family and environmental programs still pending in the Senate. That slogan, too, has its critics, who say it makes it challenging for people to easily grasp all that’s in the package.

The Associated Press is now doing press releases for Team Brandon, forgetting that it eliminated SALT, which benefits rich people in high tax Democratic Party run states. As far as building a better America, they never really go into details about how that works, because that would freak people out over the expansion of the Central Government.

The White House launched a website Wednesday that asks Americans to record videos about how the infrastructure spending will help their own communities, part of a search for grassroots support as the administration seeks greater recognition for its achievements ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Oh, this should be good, lots of moonbat Progressives super excited for more authoritarian government running their lives.

“It’s time to stop just kind of repairing our grandparents’ infrastructure — it’s time to start innovating,” said Rep. Sharice Davids, a Democrat from the nearby state of Kansas who spoke at the event.

BBB has little to nothing to do with actual infrastructure. Further, the previously passed infrastructure bill didn’t have that much money for actual infrastructure. Anyhow, you can rebrand a turd as, say, Brandon, but, it’s still a turd.
