At $3.5T to be spent over ten years, Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan is $350B a year. Manchin, Sinema, McConnell etc consider it “exorbitant spending” - but agree to more than twice that - $780B in defense spending each year - without batting an eye.

And this is why the US is in decline and will continue a slow downward spiral. Not enough good people left to bring it back up.
