On Thursday, Joe Biden touted a new major bipartisan spending deal but warned he “wouldn’t sign the roughly $1 trillion in roads, bridges, and broadband investments unless Congress passes a separate bill on human infrastructure filled with Democratic priorities on expanding the social safety net,” according to reports.

“If this (bipartisan deal) is the only one that comes to me, I’m not signing it,” Biden said at the White House. “It’s in tandem.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have said the narrow bipartisan bill on traditional infrastructure must be paired with a sweeping new spending bill that could reach $6 trillion in order to secure the necessary votes for passage. Biden backed their approach Thursday by saying he won’t sign one into law without the other.
“I’m not just signing the bipartisan bill and forgetting about the rest that I proposed,” Biden said, noting the human infrastructure part is “equally important” to the physical infrastructure proposals.

The second social justice-focused bill has a slim chance of passage with Republican support in the chamber for these extreme measures being extremely unpopular among voters.
Biden is CATHOLIC, Look south of the USA. Find a successful CATHOLIC nation if you can. Vote accordingly.
Biden calling himself a ‘devout Catholic’ is the same as someone standing in a garage and calling themselves a ‘Corvette Stingray’.
