In his vain attempt to achieve "bipartisanship" on infrastructure legislation, President Biden is violating a cardinal principle of effective bargaining; don't negotiate against yourself. By repeatedly reducing the scope of his plan to revitalize and rebuild the nation, without any meaningful concessions from Republicans, Mr. Biden is likely to jeopardize the success of his initiatives and further embolden Republican obstructionism. The end result is foreseeable. Should the president get any legislation at all it is likely to be a watered down version which fails adequately to advance the goals of the program or rekindle a scintilla of bipartisanship.
