The infrastructure bill was originally supposed to include a lot of the BBB agenda, but some wanted a "bipartisan" bill so basically a lot of the good stuff that would actually help people was left out in order to get Republican votes, with the idea that a lot of it would be included in the BBB reconciliation bill that could pass with Democratic votes alone.
Now, Manchin and Sinema have dicked around with the BBB reconciliation bill and half the time can't even commit to what they want in order to vote yes. They have proven themselves to be untrustworthy during this whole ordeal and they have no one but themselves to blame for why more of Biden's agenda hasn't already been passed and signed into law.
