President Biden celebrated the House passage of a $1 trillion bill to repair and modernize the nation’s aging infrastructure, a key legislative goal.
Out of chaos comes just more chaos.
House Democrats passed a $1 trillion bill to address the nation’s aging infrastructure, improve climate resilience and expand high-speed internet access, but put a larger social policy and climate bill on hold.
The measure includes $47 billion to help communities prepare for the new age of extreme fires, floods, storms and droughts that scientists say are worsened by human-caused climate change.
The plan finally approved on Friday will address transportation, water, broadband, energy and public safety needs that have been building for years, sometimes decades.
The $1 trillion package passed with the support of nearly all Democrats and 13 Republicans.
Progressives appeared ready to support the bill in exchange for a commitment from moderates to eventually back a separate $1.85 trillion social safety net bill that was put on hold on Friday.
