House passes bipartisan infrastructure bill after months of tense negotiations
Fox News ^ | 11/5/21

House lawmakers passed President Biden’s $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill late Friday night, securing a key victory for his administration and breaking a weeks-long deadlock between moderates and progressives that threatened to derail the legislation.

The House vote was 228-206, with 13 GOP lawmakers crossing party lines to join Democrats in voting in favor of the legislation.

LOL isn’t this spending over 10 years? Much ado about nothing and they don’t even get to splash it all over the fake news media for the average citizen until Monday.

No party discipline. McCarthy is weak.

Some of them are bound under the “Problem Solvers Caucus”. Which somehow solves every (manufactured) problem by spending more money and going deeper into debt.

Nuke DC during a joint session of Congress. It’s the only way to be sure.

So more slop in the trough for their campaign donor masters.

Nothing in the world cost more, to achieve less, then a US Fed Govt spending bill

This is totally inflationary.

And has little to do with infrastructure as conventionally defined.

Senate GOPeers largely to blame.

13 worthless turncoats. I’m betting that few if any Dems strayed from the mob.

The second bill has a $50,000 tax exemption for members of the Media.

And it sends unprecedented money to the IRS.

Amongst total garbage.

False They are Senators. The pledge is from US House Democrat's

From the article. Manchin and Sinema pledge to support Socialist Behemoth:

“Progressives agreed to vote for the infrastructure bill after a securing a pledge from a group of House moderates,

Okay.

Well, that changes things.

But makes no sense, when the issue at stake is the Senate.

Meaning, they should’ve been getting pledges from the Senate.
