The President WANTS this BAD….
Republicans SHOULD want this also….
It would bring Federal dollars back to their state’s and district’s…
But?
President Biden HAS rode good approval numbers with the stimulus money bill….
The economy is lifting …
Maybe Republicans do NOT want to hand him another polling numbers boost?
Oh, I should not overlook the way Biden and Democrats want to pay for this….
Higher taxes for Rich people …
Yea….
That could ALSO be running against Biden….
The White House and Capito proved unable to bridge their differences, and they remained far apart on the scope of the package and whether to make changes to tax law to pay for it. Now, Biden will attempt to negotiate with a group of Democrats and Republicans at once, a challenge that could prove more difficult but ultimately lead to more votes….
…
The new bipartisan talks are expected to focus on a package that would be narrower than what Biden originally proposed, but one of the biggest hurdles will be how to finance it, which is what Romney was referring to when he said “pay fors.” Biden has proposed raising corporate taxes, but Republicans have tried to explore other mechanisms….

I think there will be an Infrastructure Bill,maybe two.
Essentially, Republicans want a “clean” bill focusing strictly on roads and bridges.That will likely happen in some form.
Biden uses the expansive when talking about “infrastructure “ and includes the human side of it.The Republicans want nothing to do with that.
