Twilight of the Democrat dinosaurs -- Biden and Pelosi are finished
By Monica Showalter
For a bill that supposedly cost "nothing," Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi can't even persuade their own party to vote for it.
According to Fox News:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew up the white flag Friday evening, admitting that "more time is needed" to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that is one of the pillars of President Biden's agenda, after previously vowing to pass the measure this week.
While Pelosi had promised moderate House Democrats the infrastructure bill would be on the floor, progressives threatened to sink it unless it was coupled with a $3.5 trillion spending measure, known as the Build Back Better Act, that includes a variety of social welfare programs.
Seems they've gotten themselves into a hammerlock, held hostage by the members of their party's socialist "squad." The squad, which couldn't care less what voters think beyond their own dead blue districts have declared "my way, or the highway," on government taxing and spending to the moon, while a moderate blue-dog caucus of about 20, whose members aren't too public (out of fear of the Squad), doesn't like this crap at all, knowing that its passage for each of them means a Republican will take their seat in 2022.
