> Does Congress get any blame for promising an infrastructure bill for at least a decade

Congress isn't a person or even an institution with a unitary head, and that's at least 5 separate Congresses, several of which didn't have even approximate unity between the two houses on the issue.

And most of the promises on that came from the White House, not “Congress” (as if there was anyone who could speak for “Congress” anyway.)

And Congress passed infrastructure bills in 2009, 2012, and 2015 before the one in 2021.
