Do you not get how negotiations work? And as far as '22 and '24, if there is no infrastructure deal we won't do well in either year so getting a deal done is better than not getting one done. And of course there are things like the taxes that have to be ironed out.

It's a start and much better than the incredibly cheap plan from Sen. Capito and the McTurtle republicans. You are aware of that one right?
