program, Buttigieg acknowledged the emerging partisan divide. A Democrat and former presidential candidate, Buttigieg served as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, for eight years before assuming his leadership role at the Department of Transportation under Biden's administration.
"There are obviously a lot of people on the other side of the aisle saying, 'This is too big, too bold.' And then, some of our friends on our side of the aisle are saying, 'It should be even bolder,'" said Buttigieg, referencing the competing critiques from prominent congressional figures in both major parties.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg responded to criticisms of President Joe Biden's infrastructure bill on Sunday. Above, Buttigieg speaks during an event titled"Transforming Rail in Virginia" at the Amtrak-VRE station in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 30, 2021."Again, that's a natural part of this conversation and this process," he continued.
Buttigieg pointed out that the American Jobs Plan seeks to better various overarching elements of national infrastructure, beyond the traditional conception of the term. In addition to rebuilding roads and bridges, the legislative proposal outlines federal objectives to improve broadband access, ensure drinking water supplies are uncontaminated, expand workforce development efforts, further an ongoing transition toward clean energy, and revamp ports, waterways and airports.
This is a tough bill to pass. Take small steps. You won't get anywhere if you don't meet in the middle
We need more infrastructure for sexual perverts and Nazi feminists?
AOC, believes money grows on trees. Sooner or later the next generation, not even born yet, will end up not having no Social Security or benefits and will be left with nothing. Selfish Congressional leaders, keep raising our deficits. Printing & borrowing doesn’t solve it.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but 1) you have to start somewhere, and this is a giant step 2) she's not in charge. Let's agree to move forward.
AOC should STFU. SecretaryPete BidenAdministration
How did we ever get to a point where the opinions of Peter Butt & AOC matter?
Is she saying she won't agree to the legislation unless it's bigger? Somehow I think not. There are big things to do and that takes $$$$. It's prep for the costs that it will ultimately take. Gets the public on board for those costs. Piece by piece, yes. Keeps it realistic.
AOC is entitled to her opinion. And she often has ones I agree with. But in this case, I don't think her opinion will gain much traction.
AOC while a smart person still lacks tactic skills,she still acts like a rookie! She still can’t see the reasoning for the $2.2T Biden is proposing!Don’t ask for the max amount you want ask for the max you can justify at this time! AOC,at times acts like a kid in a bakery!
No kidding. u want biggest jumpstart to an economy end the student loan scam. Daughter in law paying more than asked on all payments just got a surprise when the interest rate just jumped from 3% to 10%. The whole thing is a scam. Pay back amount borrowed lose interest & penalty
Ocasio Cortez, is a Dizzy-Bat, equipped with a Big Mouth, & a Mind Impaired Following!
She's right, but it is a start. We have four years, if not eight should the GOP nominate Trump (which the cowards will do), to fund infrastructure.

I agree that it’s not enough, but it’s certainly a good start.
Bexmich AOC has her admirers but she is not in Pete's league. Not even close.

Please allow her to keep going. She is the Republicans boogieman . If she says it’s not enough . They may join . Not Congress but the public. I courage her!!!!!!
