What do you think the chances are that neither of Biden's bills pass? 10%?
Background in case you're unaware: Progressive democrats in the House refuse to pass the infrastructure bill that already passed through the Senate as some sort of leverage to get their progressive ideas in the family plan bill passed but that costs more money. Centrist democrats don't want to spend a ton more money because then they are more likely to lose upcoming midterms to republicans who will for sure hammer them on needless spending if the economy ends up sucking (kinda guaranteed if the Fed tapers next month) if they pass another couple trillion and inflation continues to go up.

Republicans are already hammering them over debt accrued by the previous administration's tax cuts for their very wealthy cronies.
