In the words of McConnel:
McConnell "said that about the last administration — about Barack, that he was going to stop everything," President Joe Biden said.

During the Trump Administration not one peep was uttered by the Republican Party about the spending and the national debt. The moment President Biden was elected, this once again became a talking point. The benefits of Trumpism were few, and mostly directed to the elite and corporate America.
President Biden has a plan, and is road blocked by the Republicans for one reason, if Biden is successful the Republicans will lose the next election. Consider these facts:
- Jobs, jobs, jobs
- Jobs will repair, rebuild or replace
- Bridges
- Tunnels
- Highways
- Dams
- The Electrical Grid
- Jobs will pay fair wages, and
- pay Federal Income Tax
- Save UE payments to those who were laid off
- Circulate wages on Main St. America
- creating more jobs
- protecting what may have been another housing crisis
- Improve access to the Internet to rural communities

Like all humongous-scale legislative efforts, the Biden administration’s new $2.2 trillion infrastructure plan contains surprises.

The republicans never wanted to and will never work with the democrats. The last thing the republicans are going to do is what's best for our people and nation.
mcconnell announced in 2009 that he was only going to work on making Obama one term president. He failed at that but he did succeed in preventing a good recovery from the bush boy's great recession.
Now mcconnell again says he's not going to work with democrats on anything.
So why should any republican expect any democrat to be bipartisan?
As far as I can see, all mcconnell did was give the democrats the green light to do everything they want without having to compromise with the republicans.
The democrats better grow a spine and just get things done without the republicans.
