Problem Solvers Caucus backs bipartisan infrastructure deal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Problem Solvers Caucus of House moderates on Tuesday backed the infrastructure framework that President Biden and a bipartisan group of senators announced last month, and urged the House to hold a standalone vote on legislation based on the deal.

"The bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus strongly supports the Senate infrastructure framework, which is closely aligned with our own 'Building Bridges' proposal released last month," the group said in a statement on Tuesday.

"In light of the bipartisan, bicameral genesis of the framework, we encourage an expeditious, stand-alone vote in the House and thank our bipartisan Senate partners and the Biden Administration for working so closely with us to demonstrate that cooperation is still possible in Washington."

The endorsement from the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 58 lawmakers equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, comes as many lawmakers are seeking to enact infrastructure legislation this year but face challenges in doing so.

1. Let's get this done. Will help many communities.

2. And

force states a local communities to raise taxes to fund broadband expansion, and have consumers paying tolls for the rest of their lives on any new roads or bridges built, and take the water your community owns, while selling it back to you at inflated prices, and stealing covid funds from the second year appropriations.

Not to mention, letting 91 'Fortune 500' companies continue to pay $0 in federal income taxes, while another 56 'Fortune 500' companies will continue to pay an effective tax rate of between $0 and 5%. All while the millionaires and billionaires continue not to pay their fair share of taxes.

Yippee!

4. Of get nothing. States and local have a lot of money from the feds the last two years.

3. Definitely a carrot and stick in this.

Yes, says moderates, we'll back this, but want to make sure there are no repugs for the 2nd bill by having the first voted on now. So, then they can say, no need at all for 2nd part and harrangue big spending democrats because they don't want to help women/minorities that much and don't want to spend a dime for climate control
