Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer released details of a budget reconciliation plan championed by progressives with a final vote on the bipartisan infrastructure deal looming.
As a bipartisan infrastructure deal continues to roll toward passage in the Senate, Democrats released details of a larger companion bill that would transform the country’s social safety net.
On Monday morning, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer released details of a budget reconciliation plan meant to accomplish additional goals set forth by President Biden earlier this spring and satisfy members of his party who didn’t think the bipartisan deal went far enough. The plan would cost $3.5 trillion over 10 years and expand programs tied to climate, education and health care while raising taxes on corporations and Americans making more than $400,000 a year.
In order for the bill to pass via reconciliation, it will require the support of all 50 members of the Democratic caucus, from Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to moderates who negotiated the bipartisan deal, like Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz. Republicans are expected to unanimously reject it.“I affectionately call that $3.5 trillion spending spree the blue whale,” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said on the Senate floor Sunday.
