US allocates around $1bn to improve airport infrastructure

Our airports need this funding. Glad to see it push through.

$1billion that’s all? Are we supposed to be impressed by the government’s generosity in up grading our airports?

an unreasonable dollar figure to spend on unspecified improvement, years overdue, and when all is spent and improvements are in place, then much more will need to be done.

it's about time...

Please do Miami International first. they have more payphones than water bottle filling stations. They seem proud to have a kiosk to recharge your phone while the modern airports have charging at almost every seat.

Nice they rolled this out right when they're done upgrading Laguardia. Laguardia's new slogan is literally "It's no longer a hellscape".

Even I could be a Democrat president - all you do is write checks without making decisions. Easy peasy.

So does the government provide money to privately owned for profit airports and do they have to pay it back?

Riiiiiight! This is just MORE MONEY LAUNDERING! (so-called 'aid' to the Ukraine, also money laundering).
