Five things you didn't know were in the infrastructure bill
CNN
The Senate passed a massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure package Tuesday, marking a big bipartisan achievement after months of negotiations.
The legislation, which still needs to be passed by the House, would provide $550 billion in new federal spending over five years. The new investments would reach far beyond the traditional infrastructure projects for roads, bridges and railroads. There's also money to improve Americans' access to broadband, for electric school buses and to start addressing racial discrimination in infrastructure. The bill would also change the tax reporting requirements for cryptocurrencies and delay a controversial drug rebate rule -- both included as ways to help pay for the investments.More Related News
