The Infrastructure Bill Passed. That Is a Good Thing!

[MineralMan]

That is all. That is a good thing. President Biden will sign it immediately. That is also a good thing.

This achievement by Congress stands on its own as progress toward our goals.

So, if you have something negative to say about this, please don't tie it to the successful passage of the bill, which can be signed and go into effect today.

The House passed the bill. That is all. It passed. It will become law. That is a good thing.

Let's celebrate a success without whining about something else, OK?

[piddyprints]

1. Yes!

This is indeed great news to wake up to!

[PatSeg]

2. A very good thing indeed

[paleotn]

3. This! +10,000,000

[msfiddlestix]

4. Thanks, I agree. One question, are you saying it doesn't have to go back to the Senate?

I haven't been keeping up on the minutia of this particular struggle... except Senators on the other team keep obstructing everything.

[MineralMan]

5. Yes. The House passed the Senate's bill unchanged.

It's done. Biden will sign it today.

[msfiddlestix]

7. Excellent News. Yes, let's celebrate this moment. Savor it.

[mcar]

6. It is a very good thing

and the whiners on here cannot seem to take a win.

It's Infrastructure Week!

[bluestarone]

8. Yes!

WE move forward!!! (THIS is good)

[Phoenix61]

9. WooHoo!!!! nt

[Groundhawg]

10. This is good for everybody.

[Glorfindel]

11. Couldn't agree more, MineralMan

A grand day for the country and the Democratic Party!

[Wounded Bear]

12. There is a lot of good in this bill...

for people in every state.

[MineralMan]

16. And that is the job the people have given to those legislators.

I wish they would always remember that and act accordingly. Sadly, all too often, they think more of their reputations and images than the good of the public. I have always disliked that side of politics.

[Jon King]

13. Agreed, well done President Biden and Speaker Pelosi.

Great few days, infrastructure passed and good news on tools to fight Covid. Lets keep the positive momentum.

[Elessar Zappa]

14. Agree!

And I’m still optimistic that some version of BBB will pass. It won’t be all that we want but it will have a ton of good in it.

[MineralMan]

18. The BBB is just first steps toward something.

What is needed is to take those first steps. Running quickly can come later.

[ancianita]

15. YES! We're badass!

[Shermann]

17. It represents not just a legislative success, but a bipartisan legislative success

Promise made, promise kept.

[Demsrule86]

19. President Obama should call President Biden and say, 'this is a BFD.'

A great day for our party and for our nation.

[MineralMan]

20. It is indeed a BFD!

[KS Toronado]

24. Excellent idea, hope he does

You might be giving ideas to editorial cartoonists.

[stage left]

21. Let's go, Biden

[gademocrat7]

22. Fantastic news!

Onward and upward.

[MineralMan]

23. One beneficial bill down. More to come.

I will not diminish this progress with pessimism about further progress. Nope! It is time for optimism.

[KS Toronado]

25. Our half full glass is getting fuller.

[MineralMan]

26. And that's the salient point, isn't it?

[KS Toronado]

28. Sure is MM

Hardly wait until we crush Rs in the midterms, then we can really get this country going in the
direction it needs to go.

[calimary]

27. Nothing beats waking up to good news like this!

Very nice, and a MOST welcome change.

[George II]

29. I couldn't have gone to bed without seeing the result. As it is, I tossed and turned....

...for about an hour I was so wound up and happy.

[PortTack]

30. Thx mineralman! It is indeed a +. The BBB will be too!
