President Biden will throw the full weight of his presidency behind a sweeping $1.8 trillion “human infrastructure” proposal during an address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday night.
Dubbed the “American Families Plan,” it is an ambitious package that would dramatically strengthen the social safety net. The proposal is a complement to Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” a package focused broadly on infrastructure that he introduced about a month ago.
With swift mass vaccination success showing signs of easing the COVID pandemic, Biden is expected to stake the rest of his presidency on his twin pillars of a more robust federal presence in American life. He will also, per excerpts released by the White House, address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination campaign to a masked and considerably sized-down crowd.
Watch live here:
The White House is proposing:
- Universal free pre-K education
- Paid family and medical leave
- Two years of tuition-free community college
- Restoring the IRS's funding levels and bringing capital gains tax rates in line with income taxes

Republicans do not want strong families. They want strong corporations.
I get your drift. I believe what is wanted re the corporations is oppressive, meanspirited, greedy disguised as strong.
Good on Joe, who, presently, is the President of the United States, an Office not held by Donald Trump.
Go for it.
That includes being the President of the People of the United States of America…and the PEOPLE want the Infrastructure Plan
GQP has repeatedly demonstrated no ability to look forward.
The Party of No has nothing to offer. I have to think people are starting to notice.
Uh-oh. What’s gonna happen if the low-earning Republican base figures out sociamalism = free stuff?
