Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Says 2T Infrastructure Bill Isn T Enough For Public Housing Or Climate

Ocasio-Cortez made her comments during a Wednesday night interview with MSNBC political commentator Rachel Maddow. Biden’s current plan allocates $40 billion for public housing nationwide, Ocasio-Cortez noted. But she said that amount seems less effective when one considers that the New York City public housing system needs $40 billion alone, just to get its dwellings up to code. “If we’re looking at ideals and what we think is the actual investment that can create tens of millions of good union jobs in this country, that can shore up our health care our infrastructure, our housing—and doing it in a way that draws down our carbon emissions, to help us get in line with the IPCC standards—we’re talking about realistically $10 trillion over 10 years,” Ocasio-Cortez told Maddow....

The Chilean forward had hoped to leave Emirates Stadium over the summer, having taken the decision to enter the final 12 months of his current contract.

Alice Still Lives Here

If not for these three Jameses, we’d find little “remarkable” about their merchant-prince grandfather William James of Albany (1771-1832), or their father, Henry Sr. (1811-1882), whose earnest, neglected books combined Swedenborgian mysticism with Calvinist self-contempt. Their younger brothers, the bankrupt Wilky and the alcoholic Bob, had their only moments of glory in the Civil War. And Lewis relegates subsequent generations to an appendix: foot soldiers in the march of American high culture (minor artists, friends of Marianne Moore or Malcolm Cowley, the wife of Alexander Calder) but no more four-star generals....
