President Biden recalls a memory from LaGuardia airport while speaking about the bipartisan Infrastructure Law in Boston. The $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law was signed by Biden in November. The law gave billions and billions of dollars to state and local governments to update roads, bridges, and mass transit system and help fix America’s crumbling infrastructure. This was a huge piece of legislation that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has also been touting recently.
BIDEN: “I remember when I was Vice President, I was flying to New York on Air Force two, we land in LaGuardia. And as I got into the terminal, there was an escalator, this is God's truth, going up to the gates and it said, “Out of order. Will be fixed in two months.” LaGuardia. Out of order. Will be fixed in 2 months. All the international passengers flying through LaGuardia, taking a look. We wonder why? We wonder why, folks in China and others think we're a spent economy.”
