Bidenomics Is Growing South Carolina’s Economy From the Middle Out and Bottom Up

President Biden’s economic agenda—Bidenomics—is growing the American economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down. And if most South Carolina Republican Members of Congress had their way, the state would have lost out on over $2.6 billion in infrastructure funding and nearly $1 billion in funding for high-speed internet for South Carolina. Nearly $1 billion in funds were awarded to South Carolina to deliver affordable, high-speed internet to every South Carolinian under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), using Made in America material. Representative William Timmons (R-NC), who represents Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, where thousands of South Carolinians lack access to high speed internet, voted against the IIJA, said it would do “nothing of the sort” to connect Americans to high-speed internet, and said instead it was a “Socialist spending spree.”
