You don't seem understand what happened yesterday. Up until yesterday, Sinema and Manchin thought they could steamroll the progs into voting for the BIF while offering only vague statements about reconciliation. They thought the progs threats to vote down the BIF were empty and they'd fold. Yesterday they realized that wasn't going to happen and Pelosi had their back. The only way they are getting the BIF is to actually give the progs something meaningful. That's why you saw Manchin offer the $1.5T and Sinema issue her huffy statement insisting she is negotiating. And today you see Jayapal out there saying there's real negotiation going on now. There's going to be a deal. Manchin and Sinema want the BIF badly and now know the only way they get it is to compromise on reconciliation. It won't be $3.5T, but it's going to be higher than $1.5T. I bet $2.5T, more or less.

Honestly the BIF is nice but its not the be all and end all for any Senators - Dems or Republicans. Its some paltry cash for roadway projects they'd rather ignore. If it was something like a DOD project (which they rushed to fund I noticed) or a Maglev train - then you'd have anxiety. I totally believe Manchin and Sinema are willing to let both the bloated BBB proposal and the Infrastructure proposal die with it and I'm all the happier for it.

After all - they already passed it in the Senate. If Pelosi wants it to die in the House, that's on her.

They were threatening to walk if Pelosi delayed the BIF vote. She's now delayed it twice. They haven't walked, and they are actually negotiating for the first time in months. Their actions show they want the BIF.

And Sinema conferencing in from Arizona shows what? Intensity?

I'm sure Biden rolling up with 10 SUVs of aides is a real shot in the arm...not.

Anyone notice who is NOT there?

Lots of ways to go to college without relying on family wealth. Your Larla's Larla could go on an ROTC scholarship if she cannot get an academic or need based scholarship. Rather than going away, perhaps your Larla could help her Larla and let her live at home. And, of course, Larla's Larla does not have to go to an expensive private college.

But, I do have a question: If your Larla's Larla goes to college and flunks out because she doesn't go to class, who is paying for that? I'll answer for you--the taxpayer. And, I would hazard a guess--like all things when you have no skin in the game--this scenario will happen more often than you think.

Research housing and 235 and foreclosures. None of your own money involved? Just walk away.
