摘要：	MAKE NO MISTAKE, THE WHITE HOUSE'S RECENT announcement that a bipartisan framework has been established for a $1.2 trillion infrastructure authorization is a big deal. However, in order for it to become official, much more needs to happen-and it is not likely to be an easy path.While there are not many details available on the plan at this point, The New York Times reported that the deal will focus on traditional infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, tunnels, rail and broadband. The report said that this new bipartisan plan would include some existing infrastructure programs and also allocate $579 billion in new money over eight years to "patch cracking highways, rebuild crumbling infrastructure, speed rail traffic, and more equitably spread high-speed Internet access." Other notable aspects of the plan cited in the Times report include investing billions into waterways and coastlines washing away due to rising sea levels, and $7.5 billion into 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.Not surprisingly, feedback related to this development has been positive, but also cautious."As the President has said, we've spent too much time competing with one another, and not nearly enough competing with the rest of the world to win the 21st century," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. "We have a moment to show the world that democracies can succeed in tackling our biggest challenges and that America can lead by example. We are demonstrating that you can work across the aisle to deliver a big, bold plan with bipartisan support."
