(DCNF)—Jason Furman, the former top economist for the Obama administration, told Politico that he believes that former President Joe Biden’s attempts to bolster U.S. infrastructure were largely unsuccessful.
Furman told Politico in an interview published Thursday that Biden’s infrastructure programs had “basically been a failure.” He also suggested in the interview that the Biden-Harris administration’s infrastructure projects were often marred by high costs.
“On infrastructure, the program has basically been a failure,” Furman told Politico. “A huge amount of money flooded into it. In some ways it made it even harder to build with the number of requirements put on programs.”
Biden introduced several legislative packages during his sole term in an attempt to bolster the U.S. economy and infrastructure, including signing the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) in November 2021, which authorized funding for various transportation and infrastructure projects. Notably, the Biden-Harris administration’s push to boost domestic infrastructure through the BIL was often met with major slowdowns.
“All of this drove up costs so much that the money that got spent was basically swallowed up by the higher costs, and then a lot of the money hasn’t even been spent,” Furman told the outlet.
American families and businesses were plagued with a host of economic struggles during Biden’s sole term, including soaring inflation and stagnant wages. The economy was one of the most important issues for voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Some exit polls showed that most voters considered inflation to be a “hardship.” Still, the Biden-Harris administration repeatedly claimed that Biden’s economy benefited Americans during his time in office.
Since returning to the Oval Office on Jan. 20, President Donald Trump has introduced several executive actions to improve the U.S. economy, including signing a presidential memorandum aimed at delivering “emergency price relief” for Americans and defeating the nation’s “cost-of-living crisis.” While on the campaign trail, Trump pledged to address Americans’ concerns over the cost of living and introduce economic policies aimed at benefiting average Americans.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:

- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
