Portman told reporters, we ll get it done, but i don t know if we ll make anybody s arbitrary time line. Schumer has also set wednesday as the deadline for senate democrats to finalize their larger $3. 5 trillion infrastructure big which they plan to pass through budget reconciliation. That bill deals with human infrastructure such as paid family leave, universal prek, and subsidies for community college among others. The wednesday deadline is set in order to get ahead of the month long august recess and to avoid crashing into fall deadlines to fund the government and lift the debt ceiling, who issues that will inevitably become contentious because everything is contentious these days. Meanwhile, we re already seeing results of president biden s efforts to support the country s human infrastructure in the form of a temporary child tax credit. The white house estimates the provision will cut child poverty in half. As of now the credit is only for this year, 2021. But if it were extended
