Disputes between Democrats and Republicans on the subject of the Infrastructure Plan that he proposes President Joe Biden have not had a positive effect for the plan to have bipartisan approval as it had been raised from the beginning.

Although there have been direct dialogues between leaders of both parties, as well as an opposition representative to hold a direct negotiation with the White House, a point has not been reached that allows setting an agenda in which they coincide .

Even the Republicans appointed Senator Shelley Moore Capito as their voice before President Joe Biden thinking that she has had a good relationship with Democrats to come up with various deals in the past, but she simply hasn’t been able to unblock the issue.

Moore Capito reported publicly Infrastructure Plan talks with President Biden collapsed because the two parties differed in the points that constitute the implementation of the plan, but especially in relation to the issue of its financing.

In neither From the meetings of the president with the Republican, as well as between the leaders of the parties in Congress, they reached a consensus on the amount that should finance the plan. The budget issue resulted in the collapse referred to by Shelley Moore Capito.

For two weeks there was a direct dialogue between the White House and the Republican, but no meeting brought good results, as Moore Capito considered that the financing proposal is very high, in contrast, Biden expressed that the Republican was very low .

After failing to reach an agreement, Joe Biden suspended the dialogue on Tuesday. Given what happened, the Republican senator expressed in a television interview on Fox news, “In the end, we never reached the scope of what infrastructure is.” Moore Capito added that “the president still had strange elements in his plan that we felt were not exactly physical infrastructure.”

In the negotiations, President Biden relented on reducing the $ 1.7 billion proposal , originally $ 2. 25 trillions, which would shell out money for areas that Republicans consider infrastructure, but also for things like electric cars, improving ventilation systems, and energy efficiency of schools, as well as resources for the care of elderly and disabled Americans.

On the side of the Democrats there are already disagreements on the issue, even Senator Joe Manchin, does not agree with the positions of his coreligionists, so that the president’s infrastructure budget is approved. The Democratic idea is to exclude Republicans, so in an extreme case Machin could vote against his party.
