Here is a breakdown of the infrastructure bill Biden is proposing:

For the most part, I like what is proposed. I do, however, have to stretch my mind around some of the components as being part of infrastructure.

For example, I understand how improving the electrical grid and expanding internet access is considered in infrastructure, but, I'm having a bit of a problem with the inclusion of elder care in infrastructure. I know there is a need for what is proposed and I support that effort, I'm just having ha hard time connecting it with "infrastructure".

What are your thoughts about the proposed infrastructure bill?
I too question inclusion of elderly care in infrastructure because it is not a publicly owned entity like seaports, airports, roads & bridges, electrical grid and the almighty internet. As with any bills, there are always political considerations and here is where I would like Biden's administration to favor the swing states over the red states.
