Biden Admin Takes Advantage Of Pandemic Ending By Changing Infrastructure Plan

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that President Joe Biden sees the opportunity of the country coming out of an economic rebound due to the pandemic as “exactly the time” to “make fundamental change.”

“The president wants to make fundamental change in our economy, and he feels coming out of the pandemic is exactly the time to do that,” Psaki said during Tuesday’s press briefing.

Psaki also said that Biden believes that if the government does not address the cost of childcare, the climate crisis, the universal pre-k, and other issues now, there will not be another opportunity.

The president has called for Democrats’ infighting, which has stalled both the $1.2 trillion infrastructure and the $3.5 trillion reconciliation packages, to be resolved.

“My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars,” Biden claimed, trying to sway moderate Democrats to support the larger package. “Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, and tax evasion for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make a once-in-a-generation investment in working America. And it adds zero dollars to the national debt.”

Biden also sent Vice President Kamala Harris, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, and House and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge to key swing districts on Oct. 6-8 to push the social spending package.
