A bipartisan group of 10 US senators have said it has finally reached an agreement on Joe Biden's infrastructure spending bill - that would not include any tax increases but would leave Americans facing rising gas prices.

The group of five Republicans and five Democrats announced Thursday a deal had been reached after they had huddled in a room for several days trying to reach a common ground.

The lawmakers gave no details about the deal, but a source said it includes $579 billion in new spending.

Exactly! The Swamp is paying for all this by creating money out of nothing. It's a clever tax on money itself otherwise known as inflation. The beauty of the scam is no limit to the ways they can point fingers of blame.

From what I've seen so far is this is going to become the worst inflation of our lifetimes. Cloward and Piven , here we come!

They should pay for part of it by recovering the $400b lost or stolen in stimulus checks fraud.

$30t in debt and rising and 1/3 or more was fraud due to incompetence.

I thought the plan was to move away from gas powered cars.

With EVs on the horizon, the tax on gas will see diminishing returns. No?

Some states are already floating the idea of a "mileage" tax. If you thought Big Brother was bad now...
