Don't quite understand GOP infra strategy if Dems will try to pass anything deal leaves out in big Leftover bill thru reconciliation. That means a GOP infra deal only blocks things Manchin doesn't like. Why doesn't GOP bargain for limits on Leftover bill? https://t.co/D8bmOcFVFh

I should say, at least they're honest about what the effect is. Hundreds of billion of dollars to tell mothers they can have children and their families don't need to send *anyone* into the labor force. Government will pay them. Welfare ethic replaces work ethic. https://t.co/ENrBtVmdno

The giant bond measure passed in 2016, along with a quarter-cent sales tax increase in 2017 to "prevent and combat homelessness."
