Senior White House staff and a bipartisan group of senators made progress in meetings Wednesday toward an outline of a potential agreement on infrastructure, White House press secretary Jen Psaki wrote in a statement.
The statement read:
"White House senior staff had two productive meetings today with the bipartisan group of senators who have been negotiating about infrastructure. The group made progress toward an outline of a potential agreement, and the president has invited the group to come to the White House tomorrow to discuss this in person."
Senators negotiating a bipartisan infrastructure plan with the White House will meet Thursday with President Joe Biden to present an outline for a roughly $579 billion compromise package of spending on roads, bridges, and other projects.
"We have a framework," Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., one of the 10 senators involved in the negotiations, said Wednesday after another round of talks with Biden's aides. "We are going to the White House [Thursday]."

Post and run.
Great - now do the other $5.5 trillion that the Unhinged Left demands via Senate Reconciliation.
ALIPAC sent out a warning that this bill has an amnesty attached aided by 11 RINO’s:
Burr, Graham, Tillis,Collins, Cassidy, Murkowski,Portman, Romney, Rounds,Young & Moran.
They are pushing for callers to these 11 RINOS
“We warned you on Monday of a plot afoot to insert Amnesty for illegal aliens into the infrastructure bill (Review Alert HERE) and asked you to call the 3 Democrat Senators heading up that effort. If you failed to act, there is still time for you to make those calls and share the warning at...”

Bipartisan undertakers of the US. RIP.
Looks like the GOPe have saved the precious corporations from having their taxes raised. That’s been their only goal in this process.
Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., one of 7 Republican senators who voted to convict president trump during the impeachment hearings.
If this is loaded with “green” subsidies (which I suspect it is) then it’s a non-starter, IMHO.
5-600B is fine and way more realistic than 2T on infrastructure. Nothing will actually happen, but Nothing would happen with 2 T either.
$579B used to be a lot of money.
About $10.00 will make it to put a bandage on a bridge somewhere, while the rest of his will go to clothe and house illegal aliens. Fund their “free” education and healthcare.
Oh sir this is loaded with every damn thing the left desires, you can bet on that. All kinds of tokenism for contractors, all kind of green regulations. Money for all the burned up cities to blow again...

And every other pet socialist program the left pushes.
Wonder if any bits of HR1 have been stuck in there...
Most of the money will not go to actual infrastructure. It is nothing more than payoffs to various leftist groups.
179 billion dollars will be spent on green energy. Solar and wind power. 200 billion dollars will be spent on affirmative action consulting firms that companies will have to hire when they win the bid. Remaining 200 billion dollars will be spent on infrastructure we need such as roads, bridges, etc.
Cassidy is a senator !
and $578 billion will just disappear
Right, its going to be “shut up money” about this and “don’t kill the filibuster right now.” Next election cycle there will be psyop stealing and interference all over the place.
They know this Congress does not have enough mojo for all the leftist pipe dreams.
Election integrity should be No. 1 on every republican state legislature effort right now.
how much of the Voter Rights failed bill will make it into this crap??
