how many consequential bills were passed with only the VP providing the deciding vote in the Senate if necessary. Requiring zero Dem defections. Not easy with Manchin and Sinema as part of the caucus. Ever since the filibuster became the obstructive tool it is nowadays even holding a 59-41 majority is not enough against unified opposition in the Senate. Unless, that is, a bill allows for a simple majority for passage.

19 Senate Repubs voted for the infrastructure bill. Not getting one passed being one of the many failings of the orange shitstorm. The vote for the IRA was 50-50 with Harris being the tiebreaker. A bill Repubs would hypocritically go on to tout to their constituents after voting against it.

Republicans Are Taking Credit for Infrastructure Bill They All Voted Against

House Republicans tout infrastructure funding they voted against


Imagine my surprise.

"Even though Biden compromised with Republicans, and even though the law was so beneficial for their constituencies, a majority of Senate and House Republicans still voted against it in 2021. " This was from the article. This is how Democrats lie all the time. Note that it said THE MAJORITY, not ALL like you and the New Republic stated it. The New Republic is really a far left more communist style of representative government as Camela Harris puts it. Liar too. Also, note that Biden COMPROMISED with Republicans. Then, it mentions part of the bill about internet and the bill meaning that was the part of the compromise. So, yes, Republicans can take some credit for the compromised portions of the bill. The bill that helped with the 9.5% inflation that Biden caused. And, what else has happened with respects to INFRASTRUCTURE coming from the bill??? Anything? Can you give us an update on all the infrastructure that has taken place because of this inflation causing bill?

As I recall, republicans opposed the bill mainly because of the pork that was originally hidden within the first version of it.
 
'infrastructure' riiiiight just like Obama's then all the money disappeared into Dem coffers.

You can't give me one accomplishment of the Infrastructure bill, can you. It's a common sickness of Democrats doing nothing. Then, there's the idea that inflation was helped by anything Biden did. It wasn't. 9.5% because of what he did to the oil business throughout the world. Prices skyrocketed causing much of the inflation along with the other wasteful bills. And, 2 wars that are directly caused by Biden's stupid reversal of all the Trump executive orders. Russia and Iran are pouring money into those ward while causing disruption in the U.S. And, Harris will take that and put it all on steroids!
