“The $3.5 trillion should be a minimum, but I accept that there's gonna have to be give and take,' Sanders said. House progressives have warned leadership they will not vote on the bill until the larger human infrastructure bill is also ready for a vote.
In order for the bipartisan infrastructure bill and larger social spending package to pass, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said Sunday the $3.5 trillion budget resolution price tag will likely be lowered.
Sinema released a statement Saturday accusing progressives of "an ineffective stunt" and slammed House Democratic leadership for failing to pass the bipartisan infrastructure deal. "We're not just taking on or dealing with Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema, we're taking on the entire ruling class of the country," Sanders responded. "Right now the drug companies, the health insurance companies, the fossil fuel industry are spending hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars to prevent us from doing what the American people want.""This really is a test on whether democracy can work," Sanders said.
Sanders said he’s not sure it is "accurate" to say Biden would settle on a reconciliation package around $2 trillion."The president also said that a smaller investment could create historic achievements, but [for] you, $2 trillion is not enough?" Karl pressed.
