LISTENERS: dub SC US Sen. "Lindsey Pancake Brandon" for Infrastructure Vote

What does it take to buy a US Senate vote? SC to get $6 billion out of $1.2 Trillion!

LISTENER SUBMITTED COMMENTS via 'Edisto Joe':

'Example of Infrastructure costs: The Ravenel "Cooper River" Bridge

Constructed at a cost of $632 million, and was the costliest public transportation project completed within the state of South Carolina.

Opened in July 16, 2005 - 16 years ago

$1 in 2005 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1.46 today, an increase of $0.46 over 16 years (includes a calculated inflation rate of 2.2% from 2005 to 2020 and Biden's 8% for 2021). Which means that the cost of that bridge in today's money would be approximately $923 MILLION

So, so what does it take to buy a US Senate vote?

Lindsey "Pancake" Brandon, as a few 94.3 WSC listeners have now dubbed him, apparently sold out for six Ravenel Bridges and left the other 99.5% of the "Infrastructure" funds for the Democrat's Union operated rackets throughout the rest of the nation.'
