(10,828 posts)No bipartisan agreements until after the mid-terms. And . . . the Trumpers are hoping that will end the entire infrastructure deal.
Because these people are not concerned about Americans. Only their path to power. Anything to hurt the Biden Administration is A-Okay.
Wait for the excuses.

(455 posts)2.5% per year wealth tax on personal wealth above $10,000,000. Let the Republicans beg to come back to the table to get some of that cut, and force them to accept expansion of the Supreme Court, For the People Act, John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and anything else the country needs and the Republicans have stood in the way of.

(135,831 posts)Why it matters: It could be days before the group finishes writing the bill, but the Senate can begin debating the legislation in earnest now that they have resolved the outstanding issues. The bill needs 60 votes to advance in the Senate.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that the Senate could vote as early as Wednesday night to advance the proposal, the second time they will vote on this procedural measure.
Schumer also insists he's prepared to keep the Senate in session over the weekend to finish the bipartisan infrastructure bill: "Its time for everyone to get to yes, he announced on the floor on Monday.

(33,327 posts)He likely wants at least that. That bridge, which carries 5% of the nations' GDP, is on the verge of collapse, and is in HIS state.
They want to strangle everything but highways. There will be no $ for anything else: no public transportation, no "human infrastructure".
