Biden to propose two-pronged infrastructure package
(Worthy News) – The next step in President Biden’s large-scale economic plan is infrastructure, and he’ll be unveiling the first piece of a two-part package on Wednesday in Pittsburgh — where he launched his 2020 presidential campaign.
The proposal pairs traditional forms of infrastructure with vital services. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that Mr. Biden’s Pennsylvania address would focus on roads, railways and domestic manufacturing. Psaki added that Mr. Biden will turn to the second part — which includes health care, child care and education — in April.
Psaki told reporters that the administration is open to listening to members of Congress offer their proposals on how to pay for the plan, which has been reported to be as high as $3 trillion. She hinted that reforming the tax code could raise revenue to pay for the plan. [ Source: CBS News (Read More…) ]
