Joe Biden wants infrastructure package approved over summer

The President will announce parts of his “Build Back Better” package on Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

President Joe Biden is aiming for summer passage of an infrastructure plan that is expected to cost more than $3 trillion, and the White House hopes to take a more deliberate and collaborative approach with the contentious Congress than it did on the rescue package, officials said. The President will announce parts of his “Build Back Better” package on Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Sweeping in scope, the ambitious plan aims to make generational investments in infrastructure, revive domestic manufacturing, combat climate change and keep the United States competitive with China, according to the officials. It could include $3 trillion in tax increases. The final price tag is in flux but was expected to be between $3 trillion and $4 trillion. One White House official said on Monday night that it may end up being closer to $3 trillion.
