“#Biden’s about-faces on infrastructure deal suggest his words are meaningless<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A weekend of whiplash in Washington prompts the question: Is President Joe Biden a bad-faith negotiator or just completely confused?<\/p>\n

Biden celebrated Thursday outside the White House alongside 10 Republican and Democratic senators, announcing they\u2019d reached a deal to spend $1.2 trillion on infrastructure over eight years.<\/p>\n

It was half the $2.3 trillion the prez had proposed but still included \u201cthe largest investment in rail since the creation of Amtrak,\u201d Biden noted, along with $7.5 billion for electric-vehicle charging stations and $7.5 billion for electric buses. The lion\u2019s share was to go for traditional infrastructure like roads and bridges \u2014\u00a0which is what most Americans want.<\/p>\n

Progressives fumed that Biden had struck a compromise that could actually pass, since it shelved his original plan\u2019s huge tax hikes, $400 billion for home-health workers and $174 billion for electric vehicles. <\/p>\n

So the compromiser caved: Just two hours after the celebration, he said he\u2019d veto the infrastructure bill unless a $4 trillion social<\/a>-spending and tax-hike bill also <\/em>passed. \u201cIf they don\u2019t come, I\u2019m not signing it. Real simple,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n

That bait-and-switch provoked such Republicans as Sen. Lindsey Graham to bow out of the deal \u2014 whereupon the prez flipped again on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy comments,\u201d ran the statement issued in his name, \u201ccreated the impression that I was issuing a veto threat on the very plan I had just agreed to, which was certainly not my intent.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Created the impression?<\/em> \u201cI\u2019m not signing it\u201d is pretty clear. Did the staffers who drafted the release intend to signal that Biden\u2019s spontaneous public words are meaningless? <\/p>\n

Either way, the White House isn\u2019t giving Republicans or the public at large much cause to trust this administration.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
