Infrastructure is More than Roads and Bridges

On Wednesday, March 31, 2021, President Joe Biden presented the American Jobs Plan, described as a $2 trillion infrastructure package. Many responded by saying that only a very small portion goes to infrastructure. In particular, America’s Newsroom co-host Bill Hemmer said, "We crunched the numbers and we've found that 5.5 percent — well 5.6 percent — of the $2 trillion proposal is only dedicated to roads and bridges.” In context, this implies that infrastructure only includes roads and bridges.

Many took to social media to discuss what exactly infrastructure is.
