| 摘要： | Top congressio-nal Democrats have marked July as their infrastructure month with action expect-ed on both a trillion-dollar bipartisan bill and a much larger budget reconciliation package to be passed with only their par-ty's votes.Neither measure has been put into legislative text, but developments seem to be going the Democrats' way.The House approved the INVEST in America Act, a multi-year, $715-bil-lion surface transportation, drinking wa-ter and wastewater authorization bill that sponsors say lays the groundwork for President Joe Biden's vision for the na-tion's infrastructure.Even though Republican leaders dis-missed it as a partisan messaging bill and predicted its defeat in the Senate, H.R.3684 passed by a vote of 221 to 201 with the support of two Republicans.Brian Deese, director of the Na-tional Economic Council, congratulat-ed the House for passage of the bill,calling it an important milestone, but sidestepped a question on whether the measure will be used as a framework for the bipartisan bill. |
