Until now, it seemed pretty clear that the infrastructure negotiations were about what would be bipartisan, with no cap on what else we might do via reconciliation. This seems to change that and offer a cap on infrastructure investment. If so, that’s new.
It also seems to kick climate to the curb, with only specific climate-related investments mentioned, not the overall urgency to get on a 1.5 degrees trajectory. This suggests a separate climate bill must come later. If so, that’s new.
The undecided matters are so many that it seems challenging to get this done by August recess, and implausible that reconciliation would also get done by then. So it implies slippage of the August deadline. If so, that’s new.
