In an overture to Senate Republicans, President Biden recently agreed to
cut hundreds of billions of dollars from his infrastructure plan. On the
chopping block, according to NPR, were expanding broadband
access, repairing roads and bridges, strengthening supply chains, and
billions of dollars for energy infrastructure and manufacturing.
After this huge concession, Senate Republicans said "we are farther away"
than before! They continue to signal their opposition to the investments
our nation needs -- and that Republican voters themselves support.
Clearly, Senate Republicans aren't negotiating in good faith. Democrats
can pass this bill alone.

take all concessions off the table -- pass the FULL $4 trillion American
Families and Jobs Plan.
Passing compromise bills after Republicans walk away while maintaining the
concessions is a trap Democrats have fallen into in the past -- most
notably with the Affordable Care Act.
It's bad enough that when Democrats make concessions to Republicans, they
hurt workers and families they could have helped. Keeping those
compromises after Republicans walk away is unconscionable.
It's also lousy negotiating. Allowing Republicans to keep their
negotiating wins even if they vote NO removes any incentive for them to
ever vote YES.
