Biden signs bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill

WASHINGTON — “It’s a big effin’ deal.”

That was the verdict Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivered on the South Lawn of the White House on Monday, as the Biden administration and congressional Democrats celebrated the president’s signing of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.

Schumer was alluding, of course, to Biden’s famous remark to his then boss, President Barack Obama, in 2010, upon the signing of the Affordable Care Act.
