Many Senate Republicans have attacked the Democrats’ multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill even though they support the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan infrastructure.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), one of the leading proponents of the bipartisan bill, has insisted that the two bills are not linked and that GOP support for the bipartisan bill would not lead to the passage of the even larger infrastructure bill.
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), another bipartisan advocate, said the bipartisan bill is “totally separate” from the partisan bill.
“They’re not linked, it is going to increase our debt or else increase taxes, but in terms of our effort it shouldn’t have an impact,” Cassidy added.
However, the text of the budget resolution notes that two infrastructure bills are inherently linked.

Yep, I have been watching the floor for three days and this is what it looks like.

They are lying.
They know they are lying.
They are Assistant Democrats and will always lie to assist the Democrats.
They KNOW they are paving the way for the country killing reconciliation.
Stupid GOP. The SECOND they clear the fillibuster the Dems reveal their (obvious) plan.
.
Manchin’s wife’s budget gets increased by a $ Billion dollars!
.
Democrats can proceed with Reconciliation on any bill that spends a single red cent.
And every Republican office holder in DC knows that, as do all their staffers.
Republicans all knew what was going on.
But they lied to everyone and denied it.
The entire congress is an enemy of the American people. Everyone of them that voted for the infrastructure bill, and everyone one of them that didn’t speak out and explain to their constituents what was happening.
Toilet scum.
Not stupid GOP. They agree but can’t admit. The government does not represent the citizens.

Agree. Even the “best” like Jordan and Rand are in the end party men. They’ll never indict the GOP for playing for Team China and it’s role in the bipartisan coup. When Trump needed them on his flanks in his battles against Paul Ryno and China Mitch they were AWOL. All of them.
“Stupid GOP. The SECOND they clear the fillibuster the Dems reveal their (obvious) plan.”
The 18 Republicans are 100% in on the plan. Audit their finances today and 1 year from today. They are going to be laughing all the way to the bank.
>>The $1.2 Trillion Scam legislation is linked to its big brother $3.5 Trillion Social Engineering Package that will change the country Forever!<<
...and there’s not a damn thing you, I or anyone can do about it.
Freaking leftist are a disaster.
And .... the next stimulus check is in there, somewhere, and I could use that money!!!
Portman and Cassidy need to resign from their seats!
