Pramila Jayapal: 50 House Democrats Will Oppose $1.2 Trillion ‘Bipartisan’ Infrastructure Bill

Wendell Husebø 25 Sep 2021

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Friday that 50 House Democrats will oppose the $1.2 trillion “bipartisan” infrastructure bill, which is scheduled for a vote Monday.

“Pramila Jayapal told me at least 50 of her progressive members still plan to vote to sink the infrastructure bill if it goes forward Monday,” a CNN reporter tweeted. “She added that leadership taking some steps to move ahead on the big reconciliation bill is ‘not enough.'”

Jayapal is the chair of the 94-member Congressional Progressive Caucus, a powerful force within the Democrat Party.

When Jayapal was interviewed Wednesday on CNN, she explained she is concerned the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package will not pass the House if the Democrats give up leverage and pass the $1.2 trillion bill without its far more expansive cousin, which is full of far-left goodies.

“We have to deliver on the entirety of the president’s agenda,” Jayapal told CNN. “We have to deliver on child care. We have to deliver on paid leave. We have to make sure people can go to free community college. We need to make sure we’re taking out climate change. We’ve got to address housing and immigration and Medicare expansion.”

Sometimes implosion is a fun thing to watch.

[Cyber Liberty]

An empty threat. 

[Killer Clouds]

Republicants have mastered the art of implosion. The DCP always has and always will follow in lockstep. Talk is cheap. The DCP is full of lying hypocrites that, in the end, will do as they are told.

I only care if it makes palosi look like a hasbeen of a  rat leader.

Sounds a lot like 'let down your guard', sucker punch, coming.

I think it's just a matter of time before the ole Rat Leader is made to step down, one way or the other, she's on borrowed time.  IMO she no longer has control of her party and is no longer able to strong arm like she used to.

An all out war within the democratic party may save this country.

Agreed.  The rats may save America for the rest of us.

Let's hope they keep fighting each other with increasing intensity right up until the 2022 midterms...

[Killer Clouds]

The DCP will all come together and vote how they are told to vote. The squabbling now means nothing. Before 2020 I heard too many times how the DCP is on life support and dieing. Well guess what? IT'S NOT AND WE HAVE TRAITOR JOE AS POTUS!

We won't pass this one unless you pass that one.

Good, don't pass either one.

$4.7 trillion that we don't have that doesn't get spent.

Now, beat the wish-list pork out of these things and come up with something reasonable.

[christian]

The democrats will kill the bill long before the pork can be taken out of it.  The stated purpose of the bill is a false front for why democrats want the bill passed, corruption-greed.
