Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) urged House Republicans to support the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill.
Cassidy said he is “incredibly frustrated” with his colleagues because the infrastructure bill would be “great for our country” and “create a lot of jobs.” He argued that if House Republicans would support the bill, it would “take away the leverage of the progressive caucus,” which is trying to tie the infrastructure package to the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package.
“[T]his is a great bill for all Americans, whatever your political party,” Cassidy outlined. “It does seem like politics are trumping the needs of the American people. So, if we can pass this, it’s going to be great for our country, create a lot of jobs. And by the way, just to make the distinction, this is not the reconciliation bill — $3.5 trillion. This is the money for infrastructure.”
“It’s all into politics right now,” he later added. “If House Republicans decided to support this bill, they would take away the leverage of the progressive caucus. Because they have decided not to, the progressives have an incredible amount of leverage, and they’re the ones that are trying to force linkage with the reconciliation bill.”

Got rope?
about 50% is actually infrastructure.
Cassidy is a nutburger.
So we have Dem.Sinema balled up in a building with raging hordes outside and this Republican shooting his mouth off to support national suicide.
no words....
What a surrender monkey ...
How about “no.”
Fight Biden and the leftists on everything. I used to be a “find middle ground” kind of guy until I saw compromise was only ever from our side.
So, fight them in the media. Fight them in the halls of congress. Fight them in the streets of public opinion. Fight them at social gatherings.
We must fight. Fight. Fight.
“Be a good Assistant Democrat like me”
“Create a lot of jobs”? We already have a lot of jobs! We don’t need even more competition for the few workers willing to take a paycheck.
Less than that.
There will be turncoats in this process. When 5 billion is on the line and the desire to be loved, there will be turncoats.
This guy is a maroon. The waste, trash, counter-productive items in the 1.5T infrastructure = all of it. Even if, which it is not, it was a good bill. We are bankrupt - we cannot afford it. It needs to be VOTED NO.
“[T]his is a great bill for all Americans, whatever your political party,” Cassidy outlined.”
Has he even read it?
Got tar?
Got feathers?
Got splintery split rails?
He voted to impeach Trump. RINO.
Don’t buy it..
Yeeehawwww
I don’t think we need more jobs at this point. We need more workers. This bill will turbocharge inflation until the supply chain situation is under control.
Got new covid parasite vaccines to inject in em daily...might affect Nancy’s botox, and Joe’s pedo file..
