Senate GOP Will Boost Infrastructure Offer to $1 Trillion

“A group of Senate Republicans plans to send President Joe Biden an infrastructure counteroffer this week as the sides consider whether they can bridge an ideological gulf to craft a bipartisan bill,” CNBC reports.

“The proposal could cost nearly $1 trillion, and Republicans aim to offset the spending without increasing taxes. The group of GOP lawmakers aims to deliver the plan as soon as Thursday morning.”

Playbook: “How much of this is real — and how much is not wanting to be holding the grenade when it goes off? If and when talks break down, each side will want to look like the reasonable one — and to blame the other side for not compromising.”
