[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean yeah…we’ve been saying that for weeks. Meanwhile ACTUAL Infrastruture has a bill and it passed the Senate.

An ACTUAL infrastructure bill should also address energy but that part's been poisoned by Manchin and the Republicans in order to appease their fossil fuel donors so that we can continue clinging to crumbling 70-year-old coal plants.[/quote]

Yeah well the progressives decided to laden down an energy proposal with unpassable social welfare junk so talk to them. Tell them to craft a Clean Energy and Climate Change only bill and whip the votes for it.[/quote]

What *specific* "unpassable social welfare junk" items need to be removed, and why?[/quote]

Here's your answer -

Too much shackled to actual Infrastructure that no one wants. Including $1.8 Trillion that they haven't even explained what they want to do with. They've had 8 months, stop hanging us up.

You cut these three things, its $2.6 trillion in expenditures gone, and a lean $900 billion 'Build Back Better' proposal which still tackles environmental concerns and clean energy. Which is INFRASTRUCTURE.

$1.8 trillion for the Finance Committee. This part of the bill is for investments in working families, the elderly, and the environment. It includes a tax cut for Americans making less than $400,000 a year, lowering the price of prescription drugs, and ensuring the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

$726 billion for the Health, Labor, Education, and Pensions Committee. This addresses universal pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, childcare for working families, tuition-free community college, funding for historically black colleges and universities, and an expansion of the Pell Grant for higher education.

$107 billion for the Judiciary Committee. These funds address establishing "lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants."
