Episode 216: Defining Infrastructure

Infrastructure Week. Finally!! Except don’t call it an infrastructure bill, because apparently it’s called the Americans Jobs Plan. In today’s episode of Polilogue, we examine the framing by the Biden administration for their new aspirational jobs bill and their goal to expand the definition of infrastructure. Some of the journalists questioned this premise stronger than others.

We also discuss differing expert opinions regarding a COVID fourth wave and the host responsibility to lay out the facts.
