More help is hopefully coming to American families. The House recently passed the $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan and sent it to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law. Although the plan is smaller than President Biden's original American Jobs Plan, the bill still makes historic investments in jobs and infrastructure.
To break it down, in the spring, President Biden released his two major policy initiatives; the American Jobs Plan that invests in traditional infrastructure, and the American Families Plan that invests in the care economy. Now, months later, the infrastructure bill has been signed into law by President Biden making needed investments in roads and bridges. However, the legislature is still negotiating Biden's care economy plan. Biden recently released a new agenda for his American Families Plan branding it the "Build Back Better Framework" that eliminates many of his original proposals in the hopes of finding a compromise so the House and Senate will pass his full agenda before the end of 2021.
