Pushed back? Do you not understand how legislation is drafted? This was approved by the Senate. Now it goes back to Congress, like all bills do, for a final round of negotiations and amendments. This is how it works. This is not pushed back on, it's on a fast track to being signed by Biden into law.

Not dooming, check my post history.

This will pass. I know who the pubs are in the House, and who will benefit from it.

This will pass. The money is already spent.

By the way, they don't need 60 votes.

They need 60 with a filibuster. Learn how Congress works before 'correcting" people.

They might not use it, though, in order to save it for a different bill.
