Today is a major day. Not as major as the day we had about 10 days ago when the House passed, with bipartisan support, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but we are going to have a bill signing in the White House in just a few minutes by President Biden. This is a big deal. We passed a bill that President Trump couldn't pass with a Republican Congress and without a Republican Congress. President Biden and this Congress passed it. It is going to mean road repairs, bridge repairs, airport additions, bridge observations and repairs. Ports in our country will be improved. Broadband will be extended. The electric grid will be improved; people will get access. This is what used to be bipartisan--people working together to get the infrastructure of our country that moves goods to ports, goods to people, makes our country tick, helps business, puts jobs together. This is an important bill. The Democratic Congress with 13 Republicans passed it. It is a great day to celebrate. America is on the move again. ____________________
