shortly. our goal is to pass both a bipartisan infrastructure bill and a budget resolution during this work period and we will stay here to get both done. senator portman and the other republican senators negotiating the bipartisan infrastructure bill promised that it would be fully paid for and not add to the deficit but after senator portman and the republicans dropped from the negotiated bill a provision they had already actually agreed to that would increase irs enforcement of tax law and therefore bring in more tax revenue, today the congressional budget office found the bipartisan bill is not fully paid for and would add $256 billion to the deficit over a ten-year period. an average of only $25 billion a year. the idea that bridge building and other infrastructure spending, capital spending should be paid for in full from the start is like saying that all of us should pay for our big
in a different way but i am racing upstairs to change into sweat pants and watch your show and all the boston accents with my mommy water in hand. i can t wait. great. thank you. well, senate majority leader chuck schumer just told the senate that they would be working on saturday to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill. there remains a slight possibility senator schumer will be able to get the unanimous consent of the senate to vote on final passage of the bill as early as tonight but that would require mitch mcconnell s full cooperation. last night on the floor of the senate republican rob portman who is usually closely aligned with mitch mcconnell put public pressure on mcconnell about an important bridge that joins their two states ohio and kentucky. the brent spence bridge crosses the ohio river, joining the two states. and last night senator portman who has been the lead negotiator on the bipartisan infrastructure bill for republicans let mitch

the cbo score came out today. that sometimes is a big event with legislation. sometimes it is kind of what people expected. we ve heard from a couple republicans saying they will now vote against the bill because it is not fully paid for. but those same republicans voted against even discussing the bill so that doesn t sound like you ve lost any votes yet. do you expect this cbo score to cause a problem for the legislation in the senate? i don t think ultimately it will. i think that the investments that are being made in this country through this infrastructure bill will probably make up some of that potentially lost revenue as we move forward here. but i think at the end of the day there s too much at stake for members of both parties to not see this bill go through. i heard senator portman speaking, i think last night you said. those projects are really important for america and the american people at an overwhelming majority want to see these projects happen. i think it is incu
