President Biden’s just-released infrastructure proposal takes a “go big or go home” approach. Its various provisions have been tallied at $2 to $2.25 trillion in total cost, with less than half of that spending going to actual transportation infrastructure—hundreds of billions are instead funneled to “racial and environmental justice,” crony corporate subsidies, public schools, and more.

But experts are speaking out to warn that the true cost of Biden’s bill is likely significantly higher than the (already-massive) $2+ trillion price tag.
The administration calculated its plan’s cost over an 8-year time period when legislation is usually evaluated using a 10-year timeline. This means the real cost is potentially 20 percent higher. So, too, the plan advertises many of the expenditures as “temporary” but they would likely become permanent, further raising the true cost beyond the advertised sticker price.
At least, that’s what Mercatus Center economist Robert Krol told Fox Business.
“It may have lowered the total cost of the plan, the total dollar amount,” Krol said of the Biden administration’s methods. “But that’s real shaky, because a lot of this stuff is going to be permanent. In my view, whether it’s eight years or 10 years, my guess would be it’ll understate the cost over time.”
Meanwhile, Cato Institute economist Chris Edwards says the real cost of the plan is likely closer to $2.75 trillion. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget similarly ran the numbers and projected the true cost at $2.65 trillion.
At first glance, this may sound like splitting hairs. Unfortunately, profligate federal spending is now so common that figures in the trillions don’t have a lot of meaning for most people. But the difference between $2.25 trillion and $2.75 trillion is $500 billion. That’s a lot of money—$3,500 per federal taxpayer, in fact.

If President Biden wants to force through this bloated and wasteful spending package that has little to do with actual infrastructure, he should at least be honest with Americans about its true cost and argue on its merits. Instead, he’s trying to slip thousands extra out of the average federal taxpayer’s pocket without them noticing.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
