Infrastructure would if they would unshackle it from that bloated Build Back Better bill.

Its already done the hard part of passing the Senate. The House is a rubber-stamp and they already have GOP support anyway.[/quote]

Well no, it's not going to pass the house.  If it goes to vote on Sept. 27 as planned, almost all republicans will vote against it (it will get maybe 5 GOP votes), and 50-70 democrats will vote against it.[/quote]

Why would the Democrats vote against it? It's their freaking bill.

Not, it's not their bill.  It's a bill produced by Manchin, Sinema, Collins, Portman, etc..  Not a single house liberal had a seat at the table when it was being negotiated. [/quote]

The Senate Democrats did their job and came up with an Infrastructure bill that they were successfully able to pass. The House was supposed to come up with a Build Back Better Plan. They failed. Its not done and it has every wish list known to man.

Pass the bipartisan act and stop playing around. [/quote]

Again, that's just not true.  Under the house budget resolution, the house committees had until Sept. 15 to produce their drafts.  They all met the deadline. The house doesn't answer to arbitrary deadlines that you make up.[/quote]

Its September 21st and their version of meeting a deadline is including language to pass $1.8 trillion with no explanation of where it was going to go.

If your kid asked you for $1.8K with no detailed breakdown of what the money was for, you'd ask them if they were on drugs.

They didn't do their job. Move on. The government shutdown is in 10 days. The infrastructure bill expires in 7 days. They are not going to get a new BBB bill passed in less than a week within the House [i]and[/i] the Senate.

We need trains. We need bridges. We need roads.

I can't believe they're holding this up on a junior Rep's word who shafted her own district out of a billion-dollar investment before she even took the oath of office.

The infrastructure bill has nothing to do with the government shutdown, and it does not "expire" in 7 days.  The infrastructure spending is over 5 years.  Projects take years to plan and build.  It's makes absolutely no difference if this vote happens today or in two months.  [/quote]

That is not what the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives said.

Where does that say it will "expire."  He's saying that's the day they're voting on it.  They agreed to that date back in August.  If they don't vote on it then, they can vote later.  If they do vote on it and it goes down, they can vote again later.  Nothing is expiring.[/quote]

Oh, what's this? They're keeping to the deadline? Fascinating.
