In @PunchbowlNews this AM, we laid out five reasons why @JoeBiden should take this infrastructure deal, and why he shouldn’t — based on reporting from the Capitol and the White House.
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden → Biden should take it because he has a lot of stuff to get done. And the most efficient and best way to get the most stuff done is to get some stuff done all the time, so you have less stuff to do.
Make sense? There’s a deal on the table, or at least the outlines for a deal.

@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden → Scratching an itch is fun. Biden wants a bipartisan W worse than we want the cicadas to bury themselves for the next 17 yrs. And guess what, Mr. President: This is your chance. Not many more after this
@PunchbowlNews @JoeBiden → Anytime anyone offers you $1 trillion, just take it. Seriously. Biden lived through the Obama era, when Hill Republicans were looking to cut money each week (remember YouCut? LOL). Republicans want to give you $1 trillion with no tax increases and no deficit spending.
→ @RoyBlunt made a good point to us a few weeks ago: It’s probably easier to get 10 Republicans for something than it is to get the last three or four Democrats. Blunt is not always right, but he may be right here.
@RoyBlunt → It’s the right thing to do. Good policy is always good politics. The country badly needs to fix and upgrade its roads, bridges, rail lines, airports, ports, etc.
