Buttigieg: Americans can't wait for 'dorm room debate' over infrastructure
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Sunday reiterated his support for including elements that might not traditionally be considered infrastructure in the Biden administration's current proposal, highlighting the central dispute at the heart of the ongoing battle.
Republicans and Democrats have been sparring over the reach of President Joe Biden's infrastructure proposal, which would include $400 billion for home health care and long-term care — elements many Republicans say should not fall under infrastructure spending. The White House's most recent offer on infrastructure was a $1.7 trillion plan, down from the initial proposal of $2.7 trillion over eight years. The most recent GOP counteroffer was for $928 billion.
Saying the upfront costs are necessary to ensure Americans reap the benefits in the future, Buttigieg on "Fox News Sunday" called infrastructure "the foundation that lets people participate in the economy," saying funding for home care would help many join the workforce who would not otherwise be able to.
"We think these things fit together," he said. "And of course it's not unusual in legislation to take a number of different elements that are part of a related theme and move them at the same time because Americans can't wait for us to resolve a dorm room debate over which policies belong in which categories. They want us to just get it done."

Come on now Pete. The Republicans are all frat boys who wouldn't be caught dead in a dorm. In college they majored in chugging and puking with a minor in smashing beer cans on their collective heads.
