BREAKING: The Senate passed a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure Tues., but the $1.2 trillion package still must navigate the House amid negotiations between Dems on a larger budget bill The bill came in at about a quarter of Biden’s initial proposal
The Senate passed a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure Tuesday, but the $1.2 trillion package still must navigate the House amid negotiations between Democrats on a larger budget bill.
The initial $3.5 trillion budget proposal would result in a transformation of the country’s social safety net, including provisions that would expand Medicare coverage, institute universal pre-K, fund elder care and establish a Civilian Climate Corps, with some of the funding coming via higher taxes on corporations and Americans making over $400,000.
. “One option is: We do a bipartisan bill. And the other option is: The Democrats do a bill on their own. There’s not an option of ‘don’t do anything. [Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell recognized this was a better option than just letting the Democrats do this on their own.”
