Commie Bernie Sanders Helps Democrats Reach 3.5 TRILLION 'Infrastructure' Deal With Biden...
Senate Democrats announced Tuesday that they have reached a budget agreement among themselves that envisions spending an enormous $3.5trillion over the coming decade. The plan is far less than the $6trillion that Democrats initially wanted, but it did not have the support of moderate centrists in the caucus.
The $3.5trillion plan includes spending for climate change, health care and family-service programs sought by President Joe Biden. Democrats will seek to bypass a Republican filibuster by winning passage through budget reconciliation.
Reconciliation only requires a simple majority in the Senate. With the upper chamber at a 50-50 tie between Republicans and Democrats, Vice President Kamala Harris can cast the tie-breaking vote. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, announced the accord flanked by all 11 Democrats on the chamber's budget committee after a two-hour evening meeting that capped weeks of bargaining among party leaders, progressives and moderates.
