President Joe Biden said Monday at the beginning of an Oval Office meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers he is willing to negotiate both the scope of his $2 trillion infrastructure and jobs plan and how it is paid for.
Biden has pushed paying for the plan in part by raising corporate income taxes.
"It's not just roads, bridges, highways," Biden said, according to The Washington Post. "That's what we're talking about. And I'm confident that everything is going to work out for us."
He said the talks were not just "window dressing."
