Bipartisan infrastructure pact clears key Senate vote after breakthrough in talks

15. WE should take this and come back later

I know there will be the 'purity' idiots who say "I WANT EVERYTHING OR NOBODY GETS ANYTHING". They are as much of a blight on the USA as the Rethugs sometimes. No, you never get everything you want in politics without solid control of both houses and the presidency.

Let's get the infrastructure, the HARD, physical infrastructure funded and planned, and then drive for the 'soft' stuff; otherwise, we get nothing and OUR fanatics will be as much to blame as theirs.

I want fully funded healthcare for all, daycare for every family, renewable energy, and, of course, economic and social justice as much as anyone, but we have to get bridges, roads, water, and connectivity up to par while we can do this, in case we get screwed in the mid-terms. If we increase our majority in '22 we can work on the rest.

Politics is the art of the possible; half a pie is better than none.
