IMO, there won't be an infrastructure bill.

The National Defense Authorization bill.

The $550 billion is in new spending.

It's a 1$ Trillion bill with some of the biggest investments in infrastructure in our nation's history. It's a fantastic bill and has a ton of great things in it. This is a huge win for the country and a show that big things can get done through bipartisanship still, it's $1 Trillion bigger than the infrastructure Bill that Trump got passed...

Now the $3.5 Trillion spending Bill is a much bigger deal and will be hard to get done this week, but I still think it will pass, but it will be a little smaller, probably under $3 Trillion.

It's a huge deal that Biden was able to get Dems and Reps to come together for such an important piece of legislation. People downplaying it sound like Trump supporters who would be mad if Reps worked with Dems on anything.

I was conned by an MSN article, freaking internet bs. I will go back and try to find where I was duped.

The Debbie and Donnie Downers, (and all their kinfolk) plus the naysayers aren't even trying to be subtle anymore.

One can set their watch by the punctual appearance of the negative comments they espouse with inevitable regularity. Not unlike the workings of a colonoscopy prep but not as pleasant, though more predictable.

It's not unusual to find them showing up halfway through a thread with their contrairian commentary. It's like they see it as a calling. Like they're ordained by ethereal gods, claiming sacred words and visions have been spoken to them in the woods as a commandment to exist in eternal agitation.

They can't help themselves. They're forever angry zealots.

and I was not sharp enough to catch it.

Problem solved!

Joe needs this win no matter the cost. See folks, reaching across the isle to repugs works.

You were right in that it did pass today. On to the next steps.
