President Biden told the House Democratic caucus that bipartisan infrastructure package “ain’t going to happen until we reach an agreement on the next piece of legislation,” Punchbowl News reports.

Said Biden to reporters: “It doesn’t matter when. It doesn’t matter whether it’s six minutes, six days or six weeks. We’re going to get it done.”

And Democrats around the country should be in the press every day talking about the different bits of the Reconcilliation Bill so it educates and blankets the country with information. Republicans will be screaming to pass it in 6 weeks if we do that.

In the 1.9to 2.3 trillion range, so they will be back to square one trying to figure out what to include. Sounds like it will be a while before any consensus developes.
