Isn't that just peachy??? How about no infrastructure bills until next year and wait to see how much of the stolen Covid emergency money is re-claimed or returned?

You mean a group of left wing Marxists and Rinos? Romney and Collins and the rest are definitely not bipartisan. They are all fools.

I am all in favor of indexing gas taxes to inflation. This is a way for the bottom 50% o contribute at least a little more on taxes. The poor have a free ride right now, just like Warren Buffet, Bezos, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Only WE working classes pay in full now.

If you believe that’s bipartisan then you watch abc cbs nbc for your news.
If you think it’s the “usual suspects” group of uniparty dolts, then you read Lucianne..
If you thought the election was corrupt, you ain’t seen nothing yet...The radical left commies in Washington are burning their way through our Constitution the way the malig-Nancy ripped the state of the union speech right behind President Trumps back on national tv..boy do I miss him!
They’re ALL crooks on the left and with their rino partners they’re squeezing the life out of us! Damn those hypocrite RINOs!
We have such dishonest crooked corrupt politicians in 2021.. and it’s because they lie cheat and steal while we try to maintain our homes and families in the middle of the biggest scam artistry in the history of the United States of America.They make themselves rich and powerful lording their misguided “bipartisan” decisions over us laughing all the way to the bank.
I truly hope everyone’s praying to God right now to bless America because prayer seems to be all we’ve got..Pitiful times in a very corrupt administration full of liars thieves jackals commies Marxists and snowflakes.
All because they conspired to steal our votes and install a gaffe-prone racist jackass and a laughing hyena clown as this country’s illegal dictators...with the blessings of Pence, McConnell, and so many GOP sellouts..
Romney Portman Collins Murkowski Cassidy are NOT bipartisan they are turncoat jackals disguised as Republicans who always side with the ‘rats..They should be expelled from what is called the GOP...today!

Clever. Tax gasoline so the people can not say that Spendy Joe raised their income taxes. I wonder how long it will take "people" to notice? "We will not raise taxes on people making under four hundred thousand dollars."

Whatever do you mean, a bipartisan groups of senators? Seems like all those in agreement are always in agreement. Not a bit of difference between them.

Once again the republicans in Congress under the false guise of "bipartisanship" betray us. No more trillion dollar scams, whoops I mean bills, that have bankrupted our country. We have no money! Instead of these spending obscenities why can't congress and the federal government go after the almost 500 billion stolen in the unemployment payment robbery.
Write your Senators, congressmen via email and tell them to vote NO on this bill. If enough of us write to these republican traitors they will listen and be forced to vote NO.

"Bipartisanship" is when the spineless republicans proudly announce that they managed to reduce the democrat wish list by 10%. Republicans had the power during Trump's first two years, and failed to use it to promote conservative initiatives.

This “Gang of 10” includes the usual suspects. It’s a ridiculous welfare bill that will screw the middle class bigtime. They, of course, won’t be affected, so who cares, right?

They don’t have to raise taxes as the coming raise in inflation will take care of that.

It is not bipartisan, and if you believe this is the last money the Democrats are going to be asking for, you don't know the Democrats.

Anyone else feeling a knife in their back again? Just because they call themselves Republicans doesn't actually mean they are Republicans. We do not have the money for this! Where is McConnell in all this? Its his job to keep Republican Senators in line.

Of course, the usual turncoats, mitt, lisa, susan, bill seem to be unable to be real patriots. Why don't they change that r to a d...oh wait, r no longer represents America, the Constitution, or we the people. Sometimes the future illuminates why some republicans were not allowed to become president...like mitt, mcnasty, mitt, mcnasty. The real issue for me is why do idiots elect these people to any position.

Taxing gasoline raises transportation costs thus raising the price of every thing from the guy delivering your pizza to the truck delivering your washing machine. A huge ‘back door’ tax on the whole country.

The only way to stop the inflation is higher interest rates. This "infrastructure" bill will be the final dose of spending that will propel the already out of control spending to greater inflation and the coming higher interest rates which in turn will make Jima Carter's stagflation look like child's play. You better buckle up, It is going to be a nasty ride. Where is that misery index chart?

This is how Republicans negotiate...
Dems: We want a TRILLION.
McConnell: $650 billion, and no more.
Dems: We want a TRILLION.
McConnell: $800 billion, and no more.
Dems: We want a TRILLION.
McConnell: $950 billion, and no more.
Dems: We want a TRILLION.
GOPe Senate: $1.2 TRILLION, and no more.
When are folks going to see how this UNIPARTY deal works? It's WWE 'rasslin' tactics. It's why PDT is FPDT. Oh, and send RNC money for a majority. At least the asking price for boondoggles will be a trifle lower.

Ugh! A cast of horribles! Please Louisiana, recall or impeach Bill Cassidy, he has gone over to the dark demonrat side. As far as Lisa of Alaska, Pres. Trump will go to Alaska to make sure she NEVER, EVER serves as a Senator again. What a nasty, evil, hateful, poisonous person...can't say woman ever.

And the "republicans" in DC still can't understand why Trump has such a dedicated following.
Hello, RINOS! THIS is exactly the type of behavior that gave you Trump and his unrepentant deplorables.

I saw the headline and thought "This is Romney and a few Democrats." Then I saw a photo of the "bipartisan" group and it was Romney and a few Democrats.

How many "infrastructure bills" have been passed in the past, say, 20 years? Where and how were the monies spent? Where's the EVIDENCE? Most of us here remember the nearly trillion recovery act "stimulus" bill passed in 2009. Biden was going to keep track of every penny.
Some saw a sidewalk dug up, some saw road signs, most saw pals and campaign bundlers pocketing millions. The monies evaporated with no new bridges, no modernized highways or airports, no new high-seed rail, no NOTHING the trillion dollars dragged out of a sputtering economy (or rather, out of thin air).
That's want we should demand: when has Congress ever EVER spent the people's tax dollars? Too many Politicians are profligate, wasteful, greedy, remorseless who quickly learn to smother their consciences. The evidence we have for that is how many start out in office men and women of modest means and finish up multi-millionaires.
