President Biden just endorsed a bipartisan infrastructure proposal worth roughly $953 billion after weeks of back-and-forth negotiations with Republicans.
Fox Business reports:
“We have a deal,” Biden said from the White House lawn. “We have made serious compromises on both ends.”
His announcement followed an Oval Office meeting with a bipartisan group of senators, who were pitching the breakthrough pared-down agreement reached the night before. Their proposed framework includes about $559 billion in new spending that will be invested in roads, broadband internet, electric utilities and other traditional infrastructure projects.
One of the biggest points of contention was how to pay for the measure; it’s still unclear how the initiative will be funded, but Sen. Mitt Romney said the group had agreed on pay-fors and would announce the plan later Thursday afternoon.
Twenty-one senators – 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats – have endorsed the framework, although it will likely need to win the support of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in order to meet the 60-vote threshold needed to pass legislation in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Whoopydoo. He finally gets one thing done but has screwed up so many others. The guy is still a menace and needs to be out of office asap.
Hasn’t accomplished anything yet bill still has to get voted on and passed in Congress it’s not just the senate that has to pass it the house will too and the the dems there might not go for it without all their radical agenda items getting funding.
It’s less than a third of what he wanted and is heavy on infrastructure
It ain’t done yet. There’s still the OTHER 80% of senators that have to weigh in
He’s probably screwed this deal up. Wait and see
Still a brainless leftist liberal socialist communist puppet!
YEP!
YOU FORGOT RUTABAGA THOUGH.
Catherine also forgot retarded
in that case forget it , schemer the scheamer will have to kill this as HE DIDN’T GET THE IDEA.
exactly, he needs to be voted OUT, enough already.
Now they can all pay off the donors with lucrative contracts for work that isn’t needed that the taxpayers foot the bill for. The Swamp lives on.
Sounds like a bunch of the RINOS folded…….Right Mittens et al…………?
Biden should be OUT of office.
the BIDENS , CLINTONS, PELOSI and a bunch of other Democratic people in
the Government should have FEDERAL
charges filed against them. Why have these people gotten away with the
things they have done. I want MY COUNTRY back.
Fk slimy deplorable Schumer the broklyn punk
Why do this deal without getting assurances that the Democrats are not ramming though their green new deal nonsense
So it took Biden 6 months to finally broker a partisan bill…at this rate he may get 7 more important issues accomplished if he continues to recognize there are other important parts of the government and providing he serves his full term. Our President Trump could do that in days during his unfinished term as President!!
He’s such a screw up that this one thing he thinks he accomplished doesn’t mean a hill of beans. He’s a criminal and that won’t change how I feel About anything he does or doesn’t do. He can’t even wipe his nose without someone to hold the Kleenex. I’m not impressed.
If it’s good for America. Chucky is against it. If it’s good for Democrats, Schumer lives it.
This may not be a great event. The devil is in the details. The road and bridges money may end up spent on electric cars and electric plug-in stations. Then the rest of the money can be spent on electric power plants to provide the power.
