Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are still debating the massive infrastructure bill and Louisiana’s two Republican senators are on opposite sides of the proposed legislation.
As lawmakers in Washington finalize the details on the trillion-dollar infrastructure bill, Cassidy and Kennedy find themselves at odds with one another.
Cassidy has played a big role in the negotiations over the bill and has said it would be paid for without having to borrow money.
On Monday, Kennedy claimed that statement was not accurate. According to Kennedy, only 23% of the money goes toward traditional infrastructure like roads, bridges, and railways. He says the rest goes toward other things that have nothing to do with infrastructure at all.
Cassidy said he thinks the disagreement comes from what an individual considers to be infrastructure.
