”Republicans have boxed themselves in on infrastructure. And Democrats know it”
“Having declared themselves in favor of infrastructure for years, they either have to come up with a tax scheme that will fall far more heavily on ordinary taxpayers or give up their phony deficit mania (which does not apply to tax cuts, apparently). This puts Democrats in both the roles of being fiscal conservatives (pay as you go!) and defenders of working-class Americans. Republicans have the choice between embracing fiscal irresponsibility or giving up their laughable claim to be the party of working people.”

Is this going to be going to be another 2009 when the GOP said they opposed the ACA and had an alternative plan coming, which we still haven’t seen yet. Another “Trumpcare?”
Tougher for them this time seeing they have promising for years an infrastructure plan
