budget office and michael strain, who is the director of economic policies studies at the american enterprise institute a conservative scholar, has said that our bipartisan infrastructure package will slow down inflation. they said, and i quote, improving roads, bridges, ports, will make it less costly for businesses to operate, allowing them to increase their output per hour and putting downward pressure on consumer prices. again, this is long-term spending capital assets, it makes the economy more efficient, therefore more productive. that's counterinflationary. so this is the right time to do this kind of a project. to me, this bill makes all the sense in the world given the troubling and uncertain state of our economy. it gets relief to our supply chains. it makes long-term investments in hard assets. it, too, boosts our productivity in this country. why hasn't it passed? what's the problem? it got 69 votes here in the united states senate. well, unfortunately, the answer is politics. democrats in the house of representatives want to do everything they can to tie their big $3.5 trillion-plus tax-an
