Schumer announces $3.5 trillion spending plan to pair with infrastructure package
Fox News
In a late-night announcement Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Budget Committee reached an agreement to allot $3.5 trillion for a spending package that would complete President Biden’s infrastructure plan.
"You add that to that the $600 billion in a bipartisan plan and you get to $4.1 trillion, which is very, very close to what President Biden has asked us for," Schumer said. "Every major program that President Biden has asked us for is funded in a robust way." The plan will fund a budget reconciliation package so that Democratic lawmakers can sidestep the need for GOP support and shield the funds from a filibuster.More Related News
