Senate Liberals Are Showing Their Support For The Most Recent $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Proposal

Hope is building in the Senate as liberals are showing their willingness to accept the most recent $1.2 trillion infrastructure proposal package. Many details are due to be sorted out including the bill and the process for it becoming a law. After a rocky reception last week, there’s been a shift in tone among Senators from both parties after the bipartisan group of 10 Senators announced the outline on Thursday.

Included in it is $1.2 trillion of spending over eight years, $974 billion spent over the first five years, with $579 billion of new spending focused on core and physical infrastructure. Yesterday, Democratic leaders said they wanted the five Democratic Senators who cut the deal to say they would back the reconciliation process given that their support would be essential to pass such a measure along straight party lines.
