Pete Buttigieg: U.S. Shouldn’t Be ‘Too Proud’ to Learn from Communist China on Infrastructure

Kyle Olson28 Apr 202135

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in an interview Tuesday the United States should not be “too proud” to learn from countries the Biden administration claims outrank America in infrastructure quality.

Yahoo News reported:

    As the Biden administration begins promoting its infrastructure plan to members of Congress and the American public, Buttigieg stressed that the U.S. should look to the example set by other countries.

    “The U.S. shouldn’t be too proud to learn from other countries, especially now that we’re out of the top 10 [ranked countries for infrastructure],” he said. “I always want to see the U.S. No. 1.”

    Buttigieg said the U.S. shouldn’t fall behind its competitors or its allies, pointing to Japan, Spain and China as countries with impressive high-speed train systems, which he said “can’t come soon enough” to the U.S.

Can we use slave labor instead of having to pay union prevailing wages?

Petey would have likely encouraged America not to be 'too proud' to have learned from Nazi Germany on how to build as well.  After all, German engineering is a marvel to behold.

But there is also something called the morality of it, Petey, something as a wife you know nothing about.

That certainly would make things a lot less expensive  ...

Sure, but it’d be tough to get a slave to vote for you by offering him a larger bowl of gruel for dinner.

On the other hand China has no use for elections, so there’s that. And now that Pete’s party holds the reins neither do the rats.

I'm sure there's some "How not to Do It" lessons. Like Mao's "Great Leap Forward" that starved 10s of millions of Chinese to death. Like the "Cultural Revolution" that ruined hundreds of thousands of educated Chinese lives and shut down school for a decade or so.

Leave it to a homosexual failed politician to dream about fast trains.

Someone should inform DoT Secretary that the United States has airplanes and thus doesn't need fast choo-choos.

It is called Right To Work.

Buttboy is a certifiable idiot!!

I do not know, but I would assume China has a fraction of miles of road compared to the USA.
