Big infrastructure bill in peril as GOP threatens filibuster
By LISA MASCARO and KEVIN FREKING

WASHINGTON (AP) — The bipartisan infrastructure deal senators brokered with President Joe Biden is hanging precariously ahead of a crucial Wednesday test vote as they struggle over how to pay for nearly $1 trillion in public works spending.

Tensions were rising as Republicans prepared to mount a filibuster over what they see as a rushed and misguided process. With Biden preparing to hit the road to rally support for his big infrastructure ideas — including some $3.5 trillion in a follow-up bill — restless Democrats say it’s time to at least start debate on this first phase of his proposals.

“It is not a fish or cut bait moment,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday, describing the procedural vote as just a first step to ”get the ball rolling” as bipartisan talks progress.

The democrats are so STUPID AND GREEDY they can't control their own impulses to not keep adding poison pill legislation's to the bill.  They are rich and powerful democrats, but greedy like a child in a candy store, with about that level of self control.  Fools can be quite good at sabotaging themselves.
