5. I never liked this two-track strategy.

It should have been all or nothing in one reconciliation bill. We should have made every Republican vote against it. If Manchin, Case or anyone else sinks $6T, come back with a smaller package they will vote for. Never give Republicans any credit for getting this done.

They had four years and they laughed calling every week infrastructure week and never lifting a finger to actually do the work. We're still waiting for them to introduce the newer/better/cheaper replacement to Obamacare. TFG was always promising to roll it out "in two weeks". It never came. (Remember that Obamacare was supposed to be a slur to tank it until we owned it and said 'Yes, we can'.)

We need to do the same with infrastructure!
