President Joe Biden said Thursday he would not sign a bipartisan infrastructure deal with moderate Republican senators without an additional partisan funding package for entitlements.
Biden spoke to reporters after he met with moderate Senate Republicans and Democrats and announced a deal on infrastructure.
He also promised the more leftist Democrats that he would pursue a partisan budget reconciliation bill to fund more entitlements "Promptly and in tandem" with his infrastructure deal with Republicans.
"We need physical infrastructure, but we also need the human infrastructure as well," Biden said, adding that, "We're going to have to do that through the budget process and we need a fair tax system to pay for it all."
Biden requested an additional $1.8 trillion in funding from Congress to fund entitlements such as free community college, free childcare, and free universal preschool.
When asked how he would aid families while they were waiting for both bills to pass, Biden leaned into the microphone and whispered hoarsely.
When asked how he could get every Senate Democrat to rally behind a partisan measure, Biden acknowledged it would be a struggle but appeared optimistic that he would succeed.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
