GOP support for bipartisan infrastructure deal going wobbly

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Jerry Moran is one of 11 Republicans who endorsed the Senate’s bipartisan infrastructure framework. He also has plenty of concerns about it.

The Kansas Republican said the idea of using increased IRS enforcement to generate some of the nearly $600 billion in new spending “has some red flags among Republicans,” who have openly worried about being targeted by the Biden administration. Moran’s also concerned his vote for a bipartisan bill could help kick off a massive subsequent round of spending by Senate Democrats on party lines.

“Part of the motivation is trying to make certain that we don’t spend $6 trillion," Moran said on Monday evening. If "this is lending itself toward that outcome then I would no longer be a yes at that point in time."

Moran isn’t alone. Another of the framework’s supporters, Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), said at the moment he is not 100 percent committed to voting for the bipartisan plan.

2. He may not vote for the bill because tax cheats may be punished??

That's one hell of a talking point.

4. Was there any doubt that any deal they came to

would end with zero Repug votes?

This was them buying time, hoping that they can keep any agenda from going through before the 2022. Delaying tactics.

After they all say "No, not this deal!" they will demand (and probably get) another fruitless "deal" that they will then back out of, rinse, repeat until the election is at hand.
