"SNIP.....

“Ten Republican senators support a bipartisan infrastructure framework, enough for a potential bill to get through the chamber if all skeptical Democrats back it,” CNBC reports.

“In a statement Wednesday, 20 Democratic and GOP senators endorsed the roughly $1 trillion proposal, which would not raise taxes on corporations or wealthy individuals. The plan would revamp transportation, broadband and water, but would not meet many Democrats’ goals for investments in clean energy and social programs.”

and wasting precious time. Nah I want to raise taxes on the ones who avoided paying any tax for so long. Too many Democrats will not like this so called compromise. IMO.

No tax increase for corps or the rich. No funds for fighting climate change. No attempts to improve social equity.
Just blow a $trillion on filling potholes.
I'm not skeptical. I don't care about the GOP.
I'm pissed at the number of Dems that support this gutless notion.
