Yes, liberals forced Pelosi to do what she said she'd do which was link the two bills together. The Squad did this a long time ago. They also got Biden to say it in public and again, did this was a long time ago. The media pretends it's the "liberal agenda" but it's really Biden's plan. Watching them help republicans make things up is fun to watch.

Manchin looks small since he waited until the last second to tell us what he wants ($1.5 trillion). He also wanted the bills separate but he'll lose that one too. Winning is about winning and these moderates aren't smart enough to win.

Regardless, we'll get trillions of new spending no matter what happens. Republicans give us big government all the time because it wins election. Moderate Dems (like Larry Summers) want spending cuts instead.

With the Squad...they were on top of this months ago. AOC walks around with a smile on her face. She knows how this will end. She'll get both infrastructure plans passed. Pelosi couldn't do it. Biden and Pelosi spent all their time with moderates and forgot about the people who have power.
