South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican elected official, appears to show that she doesn’t really know what infrastructure is. Noem, who is apparently dumb enough to be touted by ex-President Donald Trump as a possible 2024 presidential candidate, for her take on President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure bill. The bill seeks to overhaul the country’s roads and bridges, counter the climate crisis and revitalize the eldercare and housing sectors. But in her reply, Noem demonstrated a level of ignorance that is becoming more and more characteristic of Republican politicians. “I was shocked by how much doesn’t go into infrastructure,” she said. “It goes into research and development, it goes into housing and pipes and different initiatives, green energy, and it’s not really an honest conversation that we’re having about what this proposal is.” One has to wonder what infrastructure really is in a Republican world.
