On Wednesday, President Joe Biden will propose a sweeping $1.8 trillion American Families Plan for national paid family leave, universal pre-kindergarten, free community college, and subsidized childcare. While left-leaning articles highlight that Biden’s plan faces a difficult path in Congress, right-leaning articles highlight that Biden’s proposal would take away more of Americans’ hard-earned money.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that Biden’s plan faces a difficult path in Congress, as many Republicans staunchly oppose additional large spending measures. Democratic leaders will also have to keep their party’s lawmakers in line if they intend to get another major bill through the Senate by simple majority.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting that Biden’s American Families Plan is the second piece of his “Build Back Better” economic agenda. The proposal would be paid in part through a crackdown on tax loopholes used by high-income tax-filers.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Biden’s proposal would take away more of Americans’ hard-earned money and increase the national debt. Biden’s renewed “commitment” to the Paris agreement will also be used by the Biden administration as justification for a whole litany of new executive actions.
