This Week: At A Glance
This week, Biden's $2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan is drumming up
serious concern from GOP leaders and businesses across America.
The proposed plan is so large that it will require 15 years of higher taxes on
corporations to pay for eight years of spending. At its core, the plan calls
for a $620 billion investment in transportation infrastructure. However, it
climbs to $3 trillion with the inclusion of broad policy priorities.
"This plan is not about rebuilding America’s backbone. Less than 6% of this
massive proposal goes to roads and bridges, it would spend more money just on
electric cars than on America’s roads, bridges, ports, airports and waterways
combined." -Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
