WASHINGTON, D.C. (NAFB) – Senate Republicans are pressing for an ‘infrastructure-only’ bill in a bid to vastly downsize the president’s more than $2 trillion package that goes beyond traditional infrastructure.

Republicans say President Joe Biden could score a ‘win,’ if his infrastructure , plan included just roads, bridges, waterways, ports, and broadband, funded with user fees.

Ag and Finance Senator Chuck Grassley says Democrats may be forced to go ‘bipartisan.’  He points to bill opposition by West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin and others that would deprive the party of 51-votes to pass their bill.

Grassley, meantime, criticizes the Biden plan for providing subsidies to the wealthy to buy electric vehicles, instead of help for biofuels and ethanol-fuel vehicles that won’t stop when the electricity goes out.
