Biden has somewhat hinted at a willingness to compromise with Republicans on infrastructure; however, time will tell whether or not a bipartisan agreement is ultimately reached.

The problem with liberal spending

The massive spending proposals of the Biden administration are another matter of concern for Republicans. If every single bill proposed by this president passed, America would spend a grand $6 trillion dollars in under six months.

Republicans are balking at this, stating that Biden’s liberal spending proposals are not sustainable or realistic. Furthermore, as the president seeks to spend liberally, he’s also proposing massive tax hikes.

The GOP takes issue with this as well. For starters, most conservatives agree that raising taxes amid an economic recovery is not a good move. Secondly, Biden’s proposed individual and corporate tax increases would cause the loss of countless U.S. jobs. What America needs right now is more jobs, not fewer jobs.

On Sunday, the White House confirmed that Biden has engaged in multiple meetings with bipartisan lawmakers to discuss infrastructure.
