Joe likes to drop hints here and there saying "I'm in constant contact with Barack" and all his policies are Obama's old policies but now he doesn't need to take the heat. This new bill has little to do with physical infrastructure (roads, bridges) but rather human and housing infrastructure with section 8 housing being forced upon in suburbs. It is a radical stimulus bill catering to all of Obama's special interest groups. Obama radicallized the DOJ and now it is reaping the rewards.
