Biden hails infrastructure win as ‘monumental step forward’ - GMDino - 11-06-2021 The squad voted against it but 13 republicans voted for it in the house. This is part one. Deficit neutral. Oh, and it's actually Infrastructure Week. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-business-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-congress-263678efec1b19d3fd22aa660ecd4544 Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Saturday hailed Congress’ passage of his $1 trillion infrastructure package as a “monumental step forward for the nation” after fractious fellow Democrats resolved a months-long standoff in their ranks to finally seal the deal. Republican talking heads, of course, took it well because they think everyone forgets everything that ever happened more than five minutes ago.
RE: Biden hails infrastructure win as ‘monumental step forward’ - NATI BENGALS - 11-06-2021 Roads, bridges, ports, airports, water lines, electric grid improvements, public transit, internet access, investments to clean up and protect our environment. In what whacky world do Biden and the dems think they live where they can just shove this stuff down America's throat. Nobody wants this stuff. God I miss the conman. Probably would have given rich people another tax break by now and all that stuff would have magically trickled down anyway. And imagine how much more tax payer money we could have funneled into his golf clubs and hotels by now. And the guy really deserves it, he couldn't run a business without bankrupting it, if there was anybody that deserved a blank check to funnel tax payer funds into his own business it was the conman who made a fortune bankrupting businesses, screwing workers, cheating on his taxes, and caring about nobody but himself. RE: Biden hails infrastructure win as ‘monumental step forward’ - Goalpost - 11-06-2021 The election did this. Instead of it being linked to another package, it became linked to the votes this week.

In what whacky world do Biden and the dems think they live where they can just shove this stuff down America's throat. Nobody wants this stuff. In his defense, he also didn't pay lawyers. Which is one of the few things I liked about him. Lawyers are ***** ticks. RE: Biden hails infrastructure win as ‘monumental step forward’ - NATI BENGALS - 11-07-2021 Only 13 republicans voted for this. And they are being called traitors by the loudest most vocal republicans. Let’s use some critical thinking here y’all. Do you like roads, bridges, clean water, electricity, and the internet? If you answered yes why do you support a party that wants to stop us from investing in these things just because the evil other side is on board too? As much as I can’t stand the life long career politicians. A lot of these younger new generation of law makers are 10x worse and bring extreme partisan sensationalism into our government and it’s really bad for us on both sides.

I’ll give 10%. Well maybe 5. I’ll let you know.

The specifics for how it be handed out and followed up I am unaware of. I just hope everyone who voted against it (R & D) turn down the funds for their states/districts. I get the funniest feeling though that they'll promote all the money they brought in and then proudly exclaim how they voted against it.

Well they did just mostly shut it down for ten months to paint it. A beautiful steel gray. I thought they would go with like a bright highlighter yellow so it would be easier to see at the bottom of the river.

Reminds me of this story. https://www.pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/why-are-the-bridges-in-pittsburgh-painted-yellow/Content?oid=1335862 RE: Biden hails infrastructure win as ‘monumental step forward’ - CJD - 11-08-2021 Biden: "This is a monumental win and a huge step forward for this country." People: "What about the spending bill that's still held up in the Senate, Mr President?" Biden: "Hey, Shut up! I convinced some Republicans to flip and vote for this so that you'd forget about the bill that Manchin and Sinema are holding hostage!" Now that this infrastructure bill is passed, the Senate (specifically Manchin and Sinema) basically has no reason to even take the spending bill to a vote. "The Squad" were holding up the infrastructure bill in the house to pressure Biden, Manchin and Sinema into negotiating and agreeing on a path forard for the spending bill. Instead, Biden just took some votes from the Republicans (in exchange for God knows what *shudder*) to go over the Progressives' head. The Ratchet Effect keeping us from moving left really is the most accurate metaphor for the way our politics work...

I think they realized that getting one bill passed was better than getting zero passed. The far left wing of the party wasn't going to get what they wanted in the Senate and they needed something to hang their hat on after Tuesday's shellacking.

Yea, I think Biden panicked after seeing those election results and just abandoned the idea of the spending bill, to be honest. It's a shame. If he was just going to abandon it, he should have done that BEFORE the election, rather than after. That was the definition of a sunk cost fallacy decision.

It's so weird to see things get passed and done and the economy continue to recover from the pandemic/a republican President (again) and be told over and over he didn't do anything/enough.
After four years of being promised something "in the next two weeks" we see government work to pass something and folks still complain. I mean I get that people will always complain but he got it passed. Then you go to the next thing. Democrats win 30+ seats in GA....but they got "shellacked". It's a funny way things get spun.

I hope you're right and this isn't a signal that he plans on abandoning the spending bill. If he gets it passed without it being gutted, it will be a truly major accomplishment.

I just didn't get the idea that if he couldn't get everything he wanted he should have just stopped trying altogether.
