      Seems like there's a lot of upside to Rs in getting an infrastructure deal. Biden has come waaay off his initial ask, pissing off the left, and it gives a lot of cover for Manchin to say "see, negotiating with Rs works." 1/

      A lot of the movement has been illusory. Starting: $2.3T vs $568B (over 5) D Counter: $1.7T "additional investment" vs $225B* (*by Dem accounting) R Counter: $928B over 8, but ~400B by Dem accounts D counter: $1.4T ($1T new) over 5 Trillion apart before policy or pay-fors

      Just saying there's a pretty big incentive to get to "yes" here, because they probably get all this and more if Ds go solo...

      I see the political case for agreeing to *something* but once you start talking yourself into "we must do something," you can easily get rolled on what's in it. We simply do not need a trillion-dollar infrastructure bill.

          I just think that bill is getting through in one form or the other if Rs don't go along. There's no policy upside to killing it, and potentially pretty significant upsides to letting it go through.

          It also furthers a split between Biden and his left flank without having to give up too much. And limiting the tax increases (or putting the pain on D voters) makes it a tolerable ask I think

          Lol. Why do we not need it when our infrastructure is crumbling and interest rates are so low?

          You’re right. According to most experts, we need significantly more.

          Let me guess, more privatization of everything would be better?
