Joe Manchin, Mitt Romney Announce Senate Deal on Biden's Infrastructure Plan
Newsweek ^ | 06/23/2021 | Daniel Villarreal

Posted on 06/24/2021 6:58:55 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin and Republican Utah Senator Mitt Romney have announced that a bipartisan group of senators has reportedly reached a "framework" deal for Democratic President Joe Biden's infrastructure spending bill. The group is expected to discuss the deal with Biden on Thursday.

"We came to an agreement on a plan that we have and we're just going to try to wrap it up tomorrow," Manchin told reporters.

While full details of the proposal have not yet been released, the $1.2 trillion plan was created by a bipartisan group of 21 senators known as the "G-21." The plan is reportedly $1 trillion less than both the $2.25 trillion plan that Biden originally proposed. It is also less expensive than the slimmed-down $1.7 trillion proposal that Biden created with the hope of luring Republican senatorial support.

It would have been better to force them to use the last one of their reconciliations.

They will just completing his agenda.

The Republicans could’ve subpoenaed anyone in the Biden Foreign Cash Op in 10 mins with a simple Committee vote.

Instead, they ran interference for Joe for 1,460 days.

If GOP would have passed an infrastructure bill in 2017, we’d not have bridges falling right now. Republicans screwed the pooch on this and health care. Americans will pay for their incompetence.

It is not incompetence, it is complicity.

Most of the GOP we have elected are Assistant Democrats.

They spent the first two years of Trump’s term obstructing him and his agenda when they weren’t assisting the Democrats with Russia,Russia,Russia.
