Liz Peek: Biden, Pelosi still catering to progressives even as movement loses steam

Rising inflation, out-of-control crime, the chaos of one million people illegally crossing our southern border and worrisome deficits are causing Americans to question whether they want to put Bernie Sanders leftists in charge of our country.

The Speaker continues to insist that Democrats in the House pass the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the giant $3.5 trillion budget resolution simultaneously, because she knows the bigger package is in trouble. She reckons that only by tying it to the popular infrastructure measure can she get it approved. Reinforcing her concerns, a group of six centrist Democrats has sent the Speaker a letter asking that she "bring this bipartisan infrastructure bill to the House floor for a standalone vote" as soon as it passes the Senate.  They said they have "concerns about the specific components" of the giant $3.5 trillion budget bill that Democrats expect to pass with no GOP votes.
