but at least we will have the ability, if we have to keep this going for a month at least. i hope longer. dana: if people are working and the economy is getting back together and they know this is lawless, why try to continue this evictions moratorium when there are $49 billion out there that hasn t been distributed? that part i agree with. i found the president s statement a little confusing where he said he couldn t guarantee that they wouldn t rule that they didn t have the authority. i think from the moment we put this eviction moratorium in at the end of the trump administration, everybody has been saying how do you get out of it? it can t go forever. when you put in moratoriums like this you get more pent-up demand for evictions so it gets harder every month. i think we could all acknowledge that in the middle of a pandemic there is a public
confusion from president biden over the past few days about where he stands on the infrastructure package, some republicans, negotiating in good faith with the president and members of his administration the president after issuing a lengthy statement saturday put out an op-ed yesterday, this is the president s stance on infrastructure, this deal is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure in nearly a century. there is plenty of work ahead to finish this job. there will be disagreements to resolve and more compromise to be forced but this is a deal the american people can be proud of. looking at this package, we are talking $49 billion in public transit, $109 billion in roads, bridges, other major transportation projects. the power grid infrastructure $73 billion, up $41 billion for airports, other ports and waterways. last thursday the president announced he struck a deal with republicans. then he indicated he wanted a separate list of items not included in the infrastru
there will be disagreements to resolve and/or compromise to be forged but this is a deal the american people can be proud of. highlights, $109 billion for roads, bridges, $49 billion for public transit, notable $65 billion for broadband infrastructure, last thursday the president walked out with a bipartisan group of senators after he struck a deal with republicans. he then indicated he wanted a separate list not included in the infrastructure package, this is a process called reconciliation which would shut republicans out of the equation. the president put out a lengthy statement a couple days later on saturday and essentially said he is backing off of that demand. not sure i ve ever seen anyone doublecross his negotiating partners in the span of two hours, president biden had one press conference to celebrate the deal in 2 hours later saying he wouldn t sign it unless he got multi-trillion dollar blowout spending bill.
far in the reason why it is important she go down there, she has not set up the criteria and spoken with the president of mexico, guatemala, visited the region to know what we need to do. biden spoke about harris after he announced a deal with a bipartisan group of senators on infrastructure that would spend $1.2 trillion over eight years. under the plan roads, bridges and major projects get $109 billion, power infrastructure get $73 billion, $49 billion for public transit, $7.5 billion for electric vehicle infrastructure and $21 billion for environmental remediation but here s the catch. mister biden says a large bill with other priorities would have to be a separate bill, that would tackle building the social safety net, but most republicans don t like it won t vote for but biden believes that could be done through reconciliation without a single republican.
there, you are not going to get a true picture of what is happening. yesterday president biden said harris was doing a great job on immigration and pointed out that she had artie been mexico. he was asked about it as he stood alongside a bipartisan group of senators about a compromise on infrastructure. it is really important. we have an infrastructure package that addresses the needs of this country for the twentieth century. this group got a job done. the low-cost $1.2 trillion over eight years, roads, bridges and major projects get $109 billion, power infrastructure get 73 billion, this 49 billion for public transit, $7.5 billion for electric vehicle infrastructure and $21 billion for environmental radiation. here s the catch, mister biden
