FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr slammed the Biden administration on Friday - writing on X that President Joe Biden has yet to connect a single American with high-speed internet.
"In 2021, the Biden Administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed Internet to millions of Americans.
Years later, it has not connected even 1 person with those funds.Carr is specifically slamming the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, which allocated $42.45 billion to support broadband infrastructure and adoption.
The program was established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), otherwise known as the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill. The bill had no conservative victories and had many leftist carveouts, as Breitbart News detailed.
Carr is specifically slamming the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, which allocated $42.45 billion to support broadband infrastructure and adoption.
Congress passed the infrastructure bill in 2021, which would mean that the BEAD program has had little success in its two years since Biden passed the bill.

I’d like a complete forensic accounting of this 42billion. Throw in accounting of the 400billion or so we sent Ukraine too

I know. They’ve built so many layers into this big government that there’s zero accountability, but we, the American taxpayers, should be entitled to this for transparency, but know it won’t happen.

This and EV charging stations. Democrats doing more money laundering.
@JovialOatmealPatriot2yrs2Y
Billions spent on 7 charging stations and they are blaming it on a lack of minority electricians. If they couldn’t get electricians where did the money go?
@FinickyMacawRepublican2yrs2Y
I for one and shocked and would like a refund!
@AffectedPl4tformVeteran2yrs2Y
If true, just another example of Liberal Government waste - money handed out to friends and donors via lucrative no-bid contracts that have zero follow-up on deliverables (if they even had deliverables).
