| 摘要： | Washington, D.C.-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) once again managed divisions within her own caucus to advance a $3.5 trillion human infrastructure proposal and keep alive a trillion-dollar traditional infrastructure bill that includes $17 billion for ports and waterways. "We are committed to passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill by September 27," Pelosi said in a letter to her fellow Democrats. That commitment led a group of moderate Democrats who had been insisting the bipartisan bill move first to support the much larger nontraditional proposal and wait for what could be a final vote on the trillion-dollar bill, which has passed the Senate already. With the moderate Democrats on board, the vote to move ahead with the $3.5 trillion effort came down to a party-line vote of 220-212. That action set up a weeks-long process to put the human infrastructure framework into actual legislative language that supporters describe as transformative and will cover policies ranging from universal child care and Medicare expansion to climate change. Pelosi told reporters the goal is to have the legislative language from various committees by September 15. |
