'A big divide': Biden-GOP infrastructure talks sputter as Democrats ponder going it alone

[634-5789]

WASHINGTON — Infrastructure negotiations between President Joe Biden and a group of Senate Republicans are sputtering, increasing the prospects that Democrats will abandon bipartisan talks and try to pass a package without the GOP.
The process hasn't come to a complete halt. The six Republicans involved in negotiations met Tuesday to discuss their counteroffer to the White House, saying they expect to release it Thursday morning.

Several sticking points remain, including how much to spend and on what programs, whether redirected funds from previous bills should count in the price tag, how to pay for it, whether taxes on the wealthy should be raised, whether user fees would harm the middle class and the necessity of clean energy projects.

2. Sputtering?

I think it is going exactly how the dems expected, but they had to go through the motions to prove it to Manchin and Independent voters. The country will now be behind them for going it alone.
