We're talking about the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
Progressive Democrats are not for it-they want the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, also known as 'human infrastructure,' passed first.
Moderate Democrats want the bipartisan package passed first, but even Speaker Pelosi says the reconciliation bill must first pass.
The bipartisan infrastructure bill has over a dozen Senate Republicans backers.
The White House's $1.2 trillion infrastructure package includes a pilot program for a national mile-driven tax, contradicting President Biden's previous dismissal of the policy.
Tucked within the 2,702-page infrastructure bill is obscure language requiring the Department of Transportation to test the feasibility of taxing drivers for the number of miles they travel.
"The objectives of the pilot program are to test the design, acceptance, implementation, and financial sustainability of a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee, to address the need for additional revenue for surface transportation infrastructure and a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee," the bill reads.
