It amounts to $1.2 trillion over eight years, with some $579 billion of it being new spending -- and none of it raised through new corporate or income taxes. That's about half of Joe Biden's original 2.3 T bill.

Maybe they can come up, Joe down some and have a deal that can be passed by reconciliation...that is if Manchin, Sinema and the recalsitrants don't mind.
