infrastructure-plan/
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on Wednesday tried to redefine “infrastructure” —
and got torn down on social media for it.
Infrastructure is generally defined as “basic physical and organizational
structures and facilities,” such as buildings, roads and power supplies.
But in a push for President Biden’s massive $2.3 trillion tax-and-spend
plan, the New York Democrat attempted to pave a new meaning, tweeting:
“Paid leave is infrastructure. Child care is infrastructure. Caregiving is
infrastructure.”
The message drew a wall of mockery.
“Unicorns are infrastructure. Love is infrastructure. Herpes is
infrastructure. Everything is infrastructure,” Daily Wire founder Ben
Shapiro wrote on Twitter.
Journalist Josh Barro joked that, “Mayonnaise is infrastructure. It
supports the other flavors in the sandwich.”
“The bread is also infrastructure,” Barro added. “But the meat and cheese
and tomatoes are not infrastructure. And making the sandwich is not
infrastructure. But the plate is infrastructure.”
Many users noted, “If everything is infrastructure then nothing is
infrastructure.”
Jordan Weissman, a writer for Slate, made the case that “We don’t have to
pretend every good thing is ‘infrastructure.'”
“I am infrastructure…,” another Twitter user quipped.
Ben Domenech, publisher of The Federalist, wrote: “Brunch is
infrastructure. Kendall Jenner is infrastructure. The Snyder Cut is
infrastructure.”
Republicans have argued that Biden’s infrastructure proposal isn’t
actually “infrastructure,” arguing that it includes funds for things like
long-term care services, manufacturing and research and development.
Biden argued for expanding the definition of “infrastructure” on
Wednesday, saying that the idea “has always evolved to meet the
aspirations of the American people and their needs. And it is evolving
again today.”
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also defended the broader
approach, noting that railroads used to not be considered infrastructure,
either.
Journalist Josh Barro joked at Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s tweeting, saying
"Mayonnaise is infrastructure. It supports the other flavors in the
sandwich."

“There was a time when railroads weren’t considered ‘infrastructure.’ Then
we built them,” he tweeted.
“Now’s the time to build the 21st century economy Americans need.”
