65. That is true, of course.

But, it doesn't agree with the poster's general attack on anyone who is not sufficiently "progressive" to please the poster, I'm afraid. The Infrastructure Bill is not directly connected with the BBB. Some wanted it to be, because it was a bipartisan bill, and the BBB is not.

So, the Infrastructure bill passed and was signed by President Biden. So far, the BBB has not passed in the Senate, and may not without some major changes. A couple of Democratic Senators won't vote for it as it is. So, either it dies in the Senate or it is modified enought to get all 50 Democrats to vote for it. That's reality, if not the reality that we want.

Bottom line is that we need to elect more Democrats to the Senate. We have a chance to do that in 2022 and another chance in 2024. I hope we will all work together to make that happen. We can, if we will.
