The White House is looking to reset the messaging this week around its multi-trillion dollar spending bills deadlocked in Congress, as President Joe Biden hits the road to pitch popular elements of the package.

the government is likely to exhaust its extraordinary measures to keep the debt limit suspended by Oct. 18.blocking a vote on a government funding bill

Biden said over the weekend that he believed the messaging around the bills had gotten muddled and that he hoped to improve the sales pitch. The bills — one for $550 billion onand another for a proposed $3.5 trillion to fund a range of social programs — are part of a major campaign promise Biden made to rebuild the country’s physical and “human” infrastructure and have been the focus of his domestic policy agenda as president.

Progressive House Democrats refused on Friday to vote for the smaller infrastructure bill until they had more assurances the larger social spending bill would also pass the Senate. Both bills only need Democratic support because they are being put forward through a legislative process known as reconciliation.

Biden met with House Democrats on Friday, telling them there is a need to compromise and that even with a smaller price tag they can still make a significant difference, the official said. Biden blamed a string of floods, hurricanes and wildfires in August and September for his lack of travel to make his case for the bills, beyond a handful of events earlier in the summer promoting infrastructure spending.

I'm glad he's calling the GOP. They spend us into oblivion and now they don't want to pay the bills they aquired.

That is the face of a President that is seeking to destroy the greatest democracy conceived by the Founding Fathers! Be aware, if you voted for Joe Biden, you will be one of the misguided people that helped to destroy this great nation, OMG!
