Playing infrastructure bait and switch.

SENATORS AGREE IN PRINCIPLE ON INFRASTRUCTURE WITHOUT A BILL 

DO THEY HAVE TO PASS IT TO SEE WHAT IS IN IT?

We have been hearing for days that Senators have agreed in principle on a infrastructure bill. It is being portrayed as a $1 Trillion bill to improve the nations physical infrastructure, this means roads, bridges and other facilities that are used by all of the nation to improve transportation, commerce etc. It seems that both Republicans and Democrat senators are on board to make this happen. The problem is, that they still do not have a bill in writing with the specifics. You can now expect that the dance will begin to add the pork, the social spending, and whatever is on the Democrat wish list. 

The Democrats will view this as a win, win for them. If they get what they want they can tout how they are bi-partisan and how they managed to get this passed. If the Republicans balk at the coming bait and switch they will be portrayed by the Democrats and the media as obstructionist, who just don't want to give the Democrats and the american people a win.

This dance is not a tango, that is cordial, intimate and cooperative, it is more like the twist, separate, distant and dancing to your own tune. So, it is likely that this is still not really a done deal in the senate. 

Then there is the other complication with the future of this bill, Nancy Pelosi and her minions are not even dancing in the same building. They are out twisting in the parking lot, not willing to have any contact or cooperation with anyone unless they agree to spend another $3.7 Trillion on social spending. She has thrown down the gauntlet and will not want to back down on her threats.

You can bet she will be putting pressure on senate Democrats to give her and her allies a few fish, so they can clap and endorse the plan as a win.  It is doubtful that her left side will be happy with any outcome that does not give them the whole $3.7 trillion in social spending or should it be called just more vote buying for 2022.
