President Biden is playing a tougher stance than Democrats have in the past. He isn't going to play the Republican game of delay and promises if such is added and then isn't honored. He's going ahead without the Republicans Senators. And, he can claim it is has bipartisan support by both R and D ... and the big I... voters. there are more Independents almost than R and D put together. We the People, All of Us This Time!

Agree. Infrastructure has been kicked down the road for way too many years. First, we must address the dangerous situations in our nation due to neglect and aging. Second, we much create jobs and get people back to work after this extreme pandemic and pay them a living wage. Next, we need to keep the manufacturing and creation of infrastructure materials and such inside our country for the best building of our economy. It can be done. It's just a huge, huge endeavor.

We shall see.
