The likelihood is a Democrats-only bill will pass by mid-March - when expanded unemployment benefits expire - with close to the $1.9 trillion Biden proposed. Failure would be cataclysmic for Biden and probably the economic recovery.
But it will be messier than usual, and it will augur poorly for other important items such as immigration, climate change and Biden's proposal for a public option on health care.
There may be some small ball stuff possible on health care and drug prices.
One big ticket exception may be infrastructure, which draws business and some Republican support.
