A piece of I-75 collapsed on a car a few days back. I think the country by and large knows we needed infrastructure a long time ago.

President Joe Biden says he views his $2 trillion-plus infrastructure plan as simply a starting point for negotiations with Congress, a draft document of ideals where “compromise is inevitable.” But even as the White House maintains it is looking for bipartisan engagement, the focus on Capitol Hill is already shifting from winning over Republicans to gaming out what will need to get cut if Democrats end up passing the sprawling package through the budget maneuver known as reconciliation — a move that would require keeping the caucus united in support. Climate activists and progressive Democrats are gearing up for a fight over the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies, which Biden proposed but which some centrist Democrats could push back against. The corporate tax rate may still climb from its low, Trump-era levels but perhaps not up to the 28 percent that Biden is pushing for, given that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) has already expressed concern. The strict rules of reconciliation, which require that provisions affect federal revenue or outlays, could also kill other aspects of the plan. Some labor leaders are bracing for a determination that the pro-union Protecting the Right to Organize Act — which Biden recommended be included as part of the infrastructure package — may not qualify under those conditions, nor is it likely to be able to generate enough Republican votes to pass through regular order. Any employer mandates surrounding paid leave, which many Democrats are pressing to be part of the second infrastructure package, may be called into question depending on how they are structured. And budget experts warn that the Senate parliamentarian has in the past been skeptical of provisions that benefit a single entity — meaning that any infrastructure funds dedicated to a specific, named project may have to fall by the wayside.
