The bill devotes $1.2 trillion over the next decade towards improving roads, bridges, waterways, ports, rural broadband and more, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/10\/senate-passes-infrastructure-package-dozen-republicans-join-dems-kyrsten-sinema-rob-portman-joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passed the Senate<\/a> in August with 19 Republicans joining all Democrats. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/05\/house-sends-infrastructure-bill-bidens-desk-after-11th-hour-agreement-between-liberals-moderates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: House Sends Infrastructure Bill To Biden\u2019s Desk After 11th-Hour Agreement Between Liberals, Moderates)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7317709\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"36\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7317709\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rep.

Upton decried how the bipartisan legislation had turned into a political football and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepFredUpton\/status\/1456833325616746500\">warned<\/a> that the \u201cpartisan dysfunction\u201d it brought was not sustainable. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/05\/democrats-plan-pass-spending-package-infrastructure-bill-collapses-amid-intraparty-disagreements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Pelosi\u2019s Plan To Pass $1.75T Spending Package, Infrastructure Bill Collapses Amid Objections From Dems\u2019 Moderate, Left Wings)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The voicemail directed at Upton came after Republican Georgia Rep.

I watched a number of the folks walk down to the White House and then back. I have a balcony on my office. So I saw them go down.
