It is really hard to act surprised that political dysfunction, yet, once again, has pushed what was viewed as strong momentum for new national infrastructure bill off the tracks. The reasons for it are things we have all seen before, way too often, so the time for being caught off guard is again over.

It is a sprint to the finish for President Joe Biden’s signature legislative priority, a massive $3.5 trillion “human infrastructure” package. A bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill to repair the nation’s roads, bridges, pipes and broadband is hanging by a thread as Democrats wrangle with a much more expensive human infrastructure package favored by liberals but panned by conservatives.

While the United States Senate voting in favor of passing the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) this week, there comes a sense of relief that a long-awaited bill was finally passed, but more work needs to occur for everything to fall into place moving forward, according to various transportation infrastructure experts.

As expected, a bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure deal passed the Senate today by a 69-30 vote. That included 19 Republicans in favor, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. It came after centrist senators in both parties and the White House reached a long-sought compromise on the bill. It now goes to the House where it is expected to pass and be signed into law after Labor Day.

It is somewhat hard to believe, at least sometimes, that good ideas and plans end up in the trash can. In this case, the good ideas and plans are the momentum we have, or had, in recent weeks, was the momentum building up for a new national infrastructure plan. Well, fast forwarding a few weeks later, it now looks more and more like we may once again be witnessing the interminable game of political football, or simply just kicking the can down thew road…again.

One part of President Joe Biden’s “think big” infrastructure package appears set to pass with bipartisan support. The other, more innovative, infrastructure spending deal could be pass as a go-it-alone Democratic spending deal. First, there appears to finally be a bipartisan deal on a new infrastructure spending package that is about half what the president originally sought in his $2.25 trillion proposal.
