(19,075 posts)No need to rankle Reps, let's pass the infrastructure deal first. Then this spending bill truly is the most transformational piece of legislation in the country since the New Deal. I'd rather it be hush hush and pass before a lot of hoopla is generated, because it's truly amazing for the country.
