Democrats Want to Spend Trillions on Infrastructure. Can It Pass? Democrats appear to be staggered over which policy matters to pivot to next, but it seems likely that the focal points will be on infrastructure and clean energy. Just as President Joe Biden and Democrats scored a legislative win with the $1.9 trillion rescue package, party members are already debating the next big-spending initiative to jam through Congress, despite the soaring national debt incurred largely from pandemic-related measures. Democrats passed the coronavirus relief bill this week through budget reconciliation, a legislative process with wonky rules that avoid a GOP filibuster and doesn’t require a single Republican vote. With tight margins in both congressional chambers, Democrats are reportedly turning to the same procedure to push through more of the base’s agenda and demands if negotiations fall flat with the GOP.
