I've purposely ignored a lot of the news this week, because I knew it would be a lot of posturing and the media overreacting until a deal got done.
What are the chances Manchin and Sinema agree to some type of deal now? Seems like they aren't budging and there isn't a deal close. Are we going to get nothing done? What is the real time frame for a deal? Will the bipartisan infrastructure deal get killed too? What's the latest without all of the hyperbole?
I always just assumed something a little smaller gets passed, like $2.8T or there abouts. Is that not possible at this moment anymore?
