President Biden has said America has a “once-in-a generation” chance to invest in our country and our infrastructure. He said he wants a bipartisan deal because there is no such thing as “Republican bridges, Democratic airports, Republican hospitals, or a Democratic power grid.”
We agree with the president. And with the recent release of similar proposals from the House Problem Solvers Caucus and a bipartisan Senate group, there is now a real opening for a two-party solution.
That’s why we, the undersigned:
- Support the continuance of bipartisan negotiations, built on the progress embodied in these bipartisan proposals, targeted to the nation’s needs.
- Do not support a move to consider an infrastructure bill under the Senate budget reconciliation process, which would almost certainly foreclose the possibility of a bipartisan deal.
This is a historic opportunity for Democrats and Republicans in Washington to come together for the good of the country. We hope they will seize this opportunity.
