Republican senators on Tuesday discussed a counter-proposal to President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan, which will likely be $ 600 billion to $ 800 billion and will be paid with user fees and unspent Covid aid money.
The plan: Two people attending Tuesday’s GOP lunch said the plan, led by Shelley Moore Capito (RW.V.), member of the Environment and Public Works rankings on behalf of a group of centrist Republicans, said the plan was about $ 600 billion to $ 800 billion would cost, depending on how many years the plan took. One source was more specific, putting the plan’s estimate between $ 550 billion and $ 880 billion. The final number would be for an eight-year plan, the same term as Biden’s $ 2.2 trillion proposal.
POLITICO reported last week that Republicans were preparing counter-offers for infrastructure in the range of $ 600 billion to $ 800 billion.
