Pelosi Says House Won't Consider Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan without Reconciliation Proposal
'I won't put it on the floor unless we have the rest of the initiative,' the speaker said.

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said the House will not open debate on a bipartisan infrastructure deal unless the Senate passes a partisan plan through budget reconciliation, in comments on ABC's This Week on Sunday.

The the details of the bipartisan infrastructure plan, which is set to cost about $1.2 trillion, are still being negotiated by a group of Senate Democrats and Republicans. Democrats also want to pass a $3.5 trillion proposal via budget reconciliation rules, which allow the Senate to pass certain bills via a simple majority.


Pressed on not holding a vote on infrastructure until the Senate passes a much larger package through reconciliation, @SpeakerPelosi tells @GStephanopoulos: "I won't put it on the floor until we have the rest of the initiative." https://t.co/gSBRSyV25Bpic.twitter.com/F6OVysZdSn

"I hope that it will pass. I won't put it on the floor unless we have the rest of the initiative," Pelosi said regarding the bipartisan bill.

Host George Stephanopoulos countered that Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) threatened last week to have Republican congressmen leave the capital in order to deny Democrats the ability to pass a partisan bill.

"You talk to Lindsey Graham about what he says," Pelosi said. "I'm telling you what's going to happen in the House of Representatives, and that is that we're rooting for the infrastructure bill to pass, but we all know more needs to be done."

On the same program, Senator Rob Portman (R., Ohio) said the bipartisan bill was "about 90 percent" complete.

"We have one issue outstanding and we're not getting much response from the Democrats on it — it's about mass transit," Portman said.

Nancy Pelosi, master obstructionist.

For more shits and giggles:

Nancy Pelosi Just Admitted Why Dems Obstructed COVID Relief Bill For Eight Months | The Conservative View

Nancy Pelosi---lying since 1987.

Democrats have lost any moral standing to bitch about GOP obstruction.

And Nancy will lose her position as Speaker come 2023.

Nancy Pelosi, master obstructionist.

Pelosi is blocking A bill.  Mitch McConnell was blocking over 400 bills about a year ago, meaning Pelosi is a rank beginner when it comes to blocking legislation.

McConnell is blocking 400 bills Americans want

That is an established fact which no one here seems to be disputing.

Nice deflection, otherwise.

YOUR exact words are what I am reading. No one was disputing that Pelosi is obstructing a bill, so pointless to note it. I didn't say anything about you disputing it.

See post 1.2.1 for your deflection solution.

So she's blocked one bill. What about all the bills McConnell blocked? Wouldn't he be the master obstructionist? Seems to me Pelosi is a rank amateur in bill blocking....

Nice deflection, duly noted.

perhaps you all should open an article on McConnell since the topic of Pelosi appears unpalatable to you.

I see. You can't dispute that McConnell is the Master Obstructionist of All Time so you just dismiss us.

That's fine. I would rather go somewhere else where the abuse at least comes with a sense of humor.

What I see is that you are unable to talk about the subject--Pelosi, and are deflecting away from her.

Open an article about McConnell, for God's sake, if that is what you want to talk about.

Great! I don't have time for nor find pity parties to be interesting.

Have they even finished writing that $3.5 trillion package?  Seems like every day there's another interest group wanting to add something else to what they are calling "human infrastructure".

"Human infrastructure" = Democratic social spending and giveaways.

Democratic social spending and giveaways.

it does seem to be their mantra for the mid-terms. The Dem's don't have a big track record to run on so they need something else to energize their base and nothing here in the USA quite says come vote for me than big old give-aways.

I suppose it's a case of what else can they do? They're probably going to lose the House so they have to do what they can to usher in as much Socialism as they can before that happens.

Rob Portman had something for little Ms. Nancy:

Senate Republican 'not happy' with Pelosi plan to delay infrastructure vote (msn.com)

"The infrastructure bill has nothing to do with the reckless tax-and-spend extravaganza that she's talking about. ... So, no, I'm not happy with what she said because it's inconsistent with the agreement that we have on a bipartisan basis," Portman told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week."

It’s because she has no intention on reaching a bi partisan compromise on any issue at all.  Hopefully the moderate democrats will stop the reconciliation bill and let Pelosi know that nothing that doesn’t have bi partisan support will clear the senate.
