Democrats better get down to making some infrastructure sausage

Many of us have heard that legislating is like making sausage, but most of us have never made sausage. Enter the Biden-Senate $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal — roads, bridges, rail, transit, broadband, power grid upgrades, water and more. This is the hard infrastructure that we have long been aware needs fixing, plus a few 21st-century extras, and it provides millions of jobs. Now that a group of bipartisan senators has reached a compromise on what is in the package and how to pay for it, most Americans may think that’s the end of the discussion.
