Final passage could drag into early Tuesday as a single GOP senator, Tennessee’s Bill Hagerty, refused to relent on the mandatory debate time.</p><p><blockquote>参议员们以68票对29票轻松克服了另一个60票的障碍。最终通过可能会拖到周二早些时候，因为一位共和党参议员，田纳西州的比尔·哈格蒂，拒绝在强制性辩论时间上让步。</blockquote></p><p> Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., stressed to colleagues that they could proceed the “easy way or the hard way,” as the Senate slogged through its second consecutive weekend session.</p><p><blockquote>纽约州民主党多数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）向同事们强调，在参议院连续第二次周末会议艰难进行之际，他们可以采取“简单的方式或艰难的方式”。</blockquote></p><p> “We’ll keep proceeding until we get this bill done,” Schumer said.</p><p><blockquote>舒默说：“我们将继续推进，直到完成这项法案。”</blockquote></p><p> The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act would provide what Biden has called a “historic investment” in public works programs, the first part of the president’s his rebuilding agenda. As many as 20 Republicans are expected to join Democrats in the evenly split Senate for what would be a robust final tally. If approved, it would go to the House.</p><p><blockquote>基础设施投资和就业法案将为公共工程项目提供拜登所说的“历史性投资”，这是总统重建议程的第一部分。预计多达20名共和党人将与民主党人一起进入平分秋色的参议院，这将是一次强劲的最终统计。如果获得批准，它将进入众议院。</blockquote></p><p> “We’re on the cusp of seeing that move through the Senate,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said on “Fox News Sunday,” citing “a remarkable coalition” that includes business, labor and lawmakers from both parties. “I think we’re about to get this done.”</p><p><blockquote>交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格(Pete Buttigieg)在“福克斯周日新闻”节目中表示：“我们即将看到该法案在参议院获得通过。”他引用了包括商界、工党和两党立法者在内的“非凡联盟”。“我想我们即将完成这件事。”</blockquote></p><p> Once voting wraps up, senators immediately will turn to the budget outline for a $3.5 trillion package of child care, elder care and other programs that is a much more partisan undertaking and expected to draw only Democratic support.</p><p><blockquote>一旦投票结束，参议员们将立即转向3.5万亿美元的儿童保育、老年人护理和其他项目的预算大纲，这是一项更具党派色彩的事业，预计只会得到民主党的支持。</blockquote></p><p> Despite the momentum, action ground to a halt over the weekend when Hagerty, an ally of Donald Trump, forced the Senate to run out the clock on debate time, refusing to consent to speeding up the process.</p><p><blockquote>尽管势头强劲，但行动在周末陷入停顿，唐纳德·特朗普的盟友哈格蒂迫使参议院耗尽辩论时间，拒绝同意加快进程。</blockquote></p><p> Hagerty, who had been Trump’s ambassador to Japan, was leading the effort to take as much time as needed to debate and amend the bipartisan bill, in part because he wants to slow the march toward Biden’s next big bill, which plans $3.5 trillion for child care, an expansion of Medicare for seniors and other so-called soft infrastructure needs.</p><p><blockquote>曾任特朗普驻日本大使的哈格蒂正在领导努力，尽可能多地花时间辩论和修改两党法案，部分原因是他希望减缓拜登下一个大法案的进程，该法案计划为儿童提供3.5万亿美元护理、扩大老年人医疗保险和其他所谓的软基础设施需求。</blockquote></p><p> Trump called Hagerty on Sunday morning, said a person familiar with the call who requested anonymity to discuss it. Hagerty said later Sunday in a speech on the Senate floor that he was trying to prevent a “socialist debt bomb” of new government spending.</p><p><blockquote>一位要求匿名讨论此事的看涨期权知情人士表示，特朗普周日早上给哈格蒂打了电话。哈格蒂周日晚些时候在参议院发表讲话时表示，他正试图防止新政府支出的“社会主义债务炸弹”。</blockquote></p><p> The former president has been publicly critical of the bipartisan bill and criticizing Biden and the senators from both parties who support it, though it’s unclear whether Trump’s broadsides will have much sway with Republican senators. He celebrated Hagerty’s stand in a statement Sunday.</p><p><blockquote>这位前总统一直公开批评这项两党法案，并批评拜登和支持该法案的两党参议员，尽管尚不清楚特朗普的猛烈抨击是否会对共和党参议员产生很大影响。他在周日的一份声明中庆祝了哈格蒂的立场。</blockquote></p><p> Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has so far allowed the bill to progress, despite the name-calling and criticism coming his way from Trump. “This is a compromise,” McConnell said.</p><p><blockquote>参议院共和党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔。尽管特朗普对他进行了辱骂和批评，但迄今为止，他仍允许该法案取得进展。“这是一种妥协，”麦康奈尔说。</blockquote></p><p> As the weekend standoff dragged on, Republicans who helped negotiate the compromise spoke up Sunday commending the former president for having sparked infrastructure talks when he was in the White House even if those bills never panned out.</p><p><blockquote>随着周末僵局的持续，帮助谈判妥协的共和党人周日发表讲话，赞扬这位前总统在白宫期间引发了基础设施谈判，即使这些法案从未成功。</blockquote></p><p> Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, the lead Republican negotiator, said it’s time overdue to improve the nation’s public works systems.</p><p><blockquote>共和党首席谈判代表、俄亥俄州参议员罗布·波特曼表示，现在早就应该改善国家的公共工程系统了。</blockquote></p><p> “The American people deserve to have good roads and bridges and infrastructure to drive on, travel on,” he said.</p><p><blockquote>“美国人民应该拥有良好的道路、桥梁和基础设施来继续驾驶、继续旅行，”他说。</blockquote></p><p> Another negotiator, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, acknowledged that no compromise is perfect, but doing nothing when there was a bill before them was not an option.</p><p><blockquote>另一位谈判代表、犹他州共和党参议员米特罗姆尼承认，没有任何妥协是完美的，但当他们面前有法案时，无所作为不是一个选项。</blockquote></p><p> “Every president in the modern era has proposed an infrastructure package,” he said. “This was an effort to say let’s break the logjam.”</p><p><blockquote>“现代每位总统都提出了基础设施一揽子计划，”他说。“这是为了说让我们打破僵局。”</blockquote></p><p> Biden, who was spending the weekend in Delaware, said the bipartisan package offers an investment on par with the building of the transcontinental railroad or interstate highway system.</p><p><blockquote>正在特拉华州度周末的拜登表示，两党合作的一揽子计划提供了与建设横贯大陆铁路或州际公路系统同等的投资。</blockquote></p><p> Senators have spent the past week processing nearly two dozen amendments to the 2,700-page package, but so far none has substantially changed its framework.</p><p><blockquote>参议员们在过去的一周里处理了对这份2700页的一揽子计划的近24项修正案，但到目前为止，没有一项修正案实质性地改变了其框架。</blockquote></p><p> More amendments have been offered as senators seek to revise a section on cryptocurrency, a long-shot effort by defense hawks to add $50 billion for defense-related infrastructure and a bipartisan amendment to repurpose a portion of the untapped COVID-19 relief aid that had been sent to the states. But it’s unclear if they will be considered for votes.</p><p><blockquote>随着参议员们寻求修改有关加密货币的部分，更多修正案被提出，国防鹰派为国防相关基础设施增加500亿美元的一项长期努力，以及一项两党修正案，以重新利用已发送给各州的部分未开发的COVID-19救援援助。但尚不清楚他们是否会被考虑投票。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Senators have found much to like in the bill, even though it does not fully satisfy liberals, who view it as too small, or conservatives, who find it too large. It would provide federal money for projects many states and cities could not afford on their own.</p><p><blockquote>参议员们发现该法案有很多值得喜欢的地方，尽管它并没有完全满足自由派和保守派的要求，他们认为它太小了。它将为许多州和城市自己负担不起的项目提供联邦资金。</blockquote></p><p> An analysis of the bill from the Congressional Budget Office drew concerns, particularly from Republicans. It concluded that the legislation would increase deficits by about $256 billion over the next decade.</p><p><blockquote>国会预算办公室对该法案的分析引起了担忧，尤其是共和党人的担忧。它的结论是，该立法将在未来十年增加约2560亿美元的赤字。</blockquote></p><p> But the bill’s backers argued that the budget office was unable to take into account certain revenue streams — including from future economic growth. Additional analysis released Saturday by the budget office suggested infrastructure spending overall could boost productivity and lower the ultimate costs.</p><p><blockquote>但该法案的支持者认为，预算办公室无法考虑某些收入来源——包括来自未来经济增长的收入来源。预算办公室周六发布的额外分析表明，基础设施支出总体上可以提高生产率并降低最终成本。</blockquote></p><p> Paying for the package has been a pressure point throughout the months of negotiations after Democrats objected to an increase in the gas tax paid at the pump and Republicans resisted a plan to bolster the IRS to go after tax scofflaws.</p><p><blockquote>在民主党反对增加加油站支付的汽油税、共和党抵制支持国税局打击税法违法者的计划之后，支付该计划一直是几个月谈判中的一个压力点。</blockquote></p><p> Unlike Biden’s bigger $3.5 trillion package, which would be paid for by higher tax rates for corporations and the wealthy, the bipartisan package is funded by repurposing other money, including untapped COVID-19 aid, and other spending cuts and revenue streams.</p><p><blockquote>与拜登更大的3.5万亿美元一揽子计划不同，该计划将通过提高企业和富人的税率来支付，两党一揽子计划的资金来自重新利用其他资金，包括未利用的COVID-19援助以及其他支出削减和收入来源。</blockquote></p><p> The House is in recess and is expected to consider both Biden infrastructure packages when it returns in September.</p><p><blockquote>众议院正在休会，预计将在9月份回归时考虑拜登的两项基础设施计划。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1616996754749","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

One of the biggest investments of its kind in years, the package promises to unleash billions of dollars to upgrade roads, bridges, broadband internet, water pipes and other public works systems undergirding the nation.\nSenators easily overcame another 60-vote hurdle on a vote of 68-29. Final passage could drag into early Tuesday as a single GOP senator, Tennessee’s Bill Hagerty, refused to relent on the mandatory debate time.\nMajority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., stressed to colleagues that they could proceed the “easy way or the hard way,” as the Senate slogged through its second consecutive weekend session.\n“We’ll keep proceeding until we get this bill done,” Schumer said.\nThe Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act would provide what Biden has called a “historic investment” in public works programs, the first part of the president’s his rebuilding agenda. As many as 20 Republicans are expected to join Democrats in the evenly split Senate for what would be a robust final tally. If approved, it would go to the House.\n“We’re on the cusp of seeing that move through the Senate,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said on “Fox News Sunday,” citing “a remarkable coalition” that includes business, labor and lawmakers from both parties. “I think we’re about to get this done.”\nOnce voting wraps up, senators immediately will turn to the budget outline for a $3.5 trillion package of child care, elder care and other programs that is a much more partisan undertaking and expected to draw only Democratic support.\nDespite the momentum, action ground to a halt over the weekend when Hagerty, an ally of Donald Trump, forced the Senate to run out the clock on debate time, refusing to consent to speeding up the process.\nHagerty, who had been Trump’s ambassador to Japan, was leading the effort to take as much time as needed to debate and amend the bipartisan bill, in part because he wants to slow the march toward Biden’s next big bill, which plans $3.5 trillion for child care, an expansion of Medicare for seniors and other so-called soft infrastructure needs.\nTrump called Hagerty on Sunday morning, said a person familiar with the call who requested anonymity to discuss it. Hagerty said later Sunday in a speech on the Senate floor that he was trying to prevent a “socialist debt bomb” of new government spending.\nThe former president has been publicly critical of the bipartisan bill and criticizing Biden and the senators from both parties who support it, though it’s unclear whether Trump’s broadsides will have much sway with Republican senators. He celebrated Hagerty’s stand in a statement Sunday.\nSenate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has so far allowed the bill to progress, despite the name-calling and criticism coming his way from Trump. “This is a compromise,” McConnell said.\nAs the weekend standoff dragged on, Republicans who helped negotiate the compromise spoke up Sunday commending the former president for having sparked infrastructure talks when he was in the White House even if those bills never panned out.\nSen. Rob Portman of Ohio, the lead Republican negotiator, said it’s time overdue to improve the nation’s public works systems.\n“The American people deserve to have good roads and bridges and infrastructure to drive on, travel on,” he said.\nAnother negotiator, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, acknowledged that no compromise is perfect, but doing nothing when there was a bill before them was not an option.\n“Every president in the modern era has proposed an infrastructure package,” he said. “This was an effort to say let’s break the logjam.”\nBiden, who was spending the weekend in Delaware, said the bipartisan package offers an investment on par with the building of the transcontinental railroad or interstate highway system.\nSenators have spent the past week processing nearly two dozen amendments to the 2,700-page package, but so far none has substantially changed its framework.\nMore amendments have been offered as senators seek to revise a section on cryptocurrency, a long-shot effort by defense hawks to add $50 billion for defense-related infrastructure and a bipartisan amendment to repurpose a portion of the untapped COVID-19 relief aid that had been sent to the states. But it’s unclear if they will be considered for votes.\nSenators have found much to like in the bill, even though it does not fully satisfy liberals, who view it as too small, or conservatives, who find it too large. It would provide federal money for projects many states and cities could not afford on their own.\nAn analysis of the bill from the Congressional Budget Office drew concerns, particularly from Republicans. It concluded that the legislation would increase deficits by about $256 billion over the next decade.\nBut the bill’s backers argued that the budget office was unable to take into account certain revenue streams — including from future economic growth. Additional analysis released Saturday by the budget office suggested infrastructure spending overall could boost productivity and lower the ultimate costs.\nPaying for the package has been a pressure point throughout the months of negotiations after Democrats objected to an increase in the gas tax paid at the pump and Republicans resisted a plan to bolster the IRS to go after tax scofflaws.\nUnlike Biden’s bigger $3.5 trillion package, which would be paid for by higher tax rates for corporations and the wealthy, the bipartisan package is funded by repurposing other money, including untapped COVID-19 aid, and other spending cuts and revenue streams.\nThe House is in recess and is expected to consider both Biden infrastructure packages when it returns in September.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".SPX":0.9,".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1536,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":4,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/898132894"}
