Time and again, President Biden, Speaker Pelosi exceed the imagination of what i might have reasonably accomplished as Walter Mitty.

48 Democratic Senators are working with the President to compromise, support, and pass this critical legislation.

Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema are grandstanding on TV almost everyday, exercising their chops and thumbing their noses at the President and their own party...

I know whose side I am on.

If Joe Biden says 3.5 Trillion then pass a 3.5 trillion dollar bill.
If Joe Biden says 1.5 Trillion then pass a 1.5 trillion dollar bill.

I trust Joe and Nancy to get it done.

Always tempered with a healthy dose of skepticism, my gut usually agrees with them.

I hate to reflect on how this battle has gone in the past. A lot of board seats and cash are being offered.

I guess that is as far as he believes Manchin and Sinema will go. It sucks, but passing the $1.2 along with the $1.9 can still be transformative if structured correctly.

just for the sake of humor, a larger amount was approved by the Senate, would President Biden be against it?

I think it is that simple, Biden is trying to get the largest number from Manchin and Sinema. He wants the full $3.5 trillion but realizes he can not get them above $1.9-2.0 from the sound of yesterday's sound bite.
