Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who had a hard time fixing potholes during his time as Mayor of South Bend, went on CNBC Thursday morning in an effort to sell President Joe Biden's $2 trillion Green New Deal "infrastructure" plan. It did not go well.

During a briefing at the White House yesterday, Buttigieg had a difficult time explaining how the Biden administration was handling the cyber attack against the Colonial Pipeline system, resulting in gas shortages in nearly two dozen states.

Meanwhile, President Biden hosted Democrat and Republican congressional leaders at the White House yesterday in an effort to sell his plan.

>>"What the President believes his role is – is to lead by example and to offer an alternative of leadership to the American people, which is reaching his hand across the aisle, offering to work with members of both parties on addressing issues the American people have concerns about," Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.

Senate Republicans have offered a much smaller, $568 billion true infrastructure plan as an alternative. From CNBC:

The GOP package would cost $568 billion, only a fraction of the Democratic president’s more than $2 trillion package. It also would not address policies such as care for elderly and disabled people, which Biden included in his plan.

This is just too good. I didn't even see it coming at first. Obviously it was a good idea from the perspective of grooming new personalities in the increasingly geriatric parties, which meant putting Buttglug into some kind of position so that he'd have some kind of street cred for whatever his political future holds.

But what I forgot to notice was that obviously a huge "infrastructure" bill was going to be in the works early on during the Biden administration. It was one of the things Trump championed from the start that never materialized, I suppose in the general morass of finding out just what a quagmire the swamp really is. But they put this completely incompetent nobody into the transportation secretary job, and OF COURSE that means he's going to have to wind up being a lynch pin of sorts when it comes time to push the """infrastructure""" bill. It's not at all his specialty, and he just crumpled up and blew it as if he also didn't realize he was going to be shoved out front along the way to justify it.
