Democrats prepare massive infrastructure bill

Senator Chuck Schumer seeks to rush the infrastructure bill through before most Senators can read it, so he can move on to Bernie Sanders’s $3.5 trillion budget resolution that he will then sprint through on a party-line vote. He wants to pass both before the Senate’s August recess. Amendments will often be offered and voted on while the nation sleeps to meet this artificial deadline that is convenient for the political class but not for informing the public. Both parties operate this way now. But it isn’t the right way to run a democracy, and no wonder Americans hold Congress in such low regard (WSJ).

"Total number of people in Congress who will read this before voting: ZERO (Ben Shapiro - Twitter)." 

"At this stage, even the staffers may not read the thing (Dan McLaughlin - Twitter).

“The new $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill contains billions of dollars to upgrade border crossings — but no money at all for the southern border wall, which President Joe Biden abandoned, despite an ongoing surge of illegal migration (Breitbart)."

Democrat Joe Manchin hasn’t said if he’ll vote to approve.(Washington Times)
