Today, we're taking a #WhiteHouseDeepDive into how President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and Build Back Better Agenda will position the United States to outpace our global competitors and win the 21st century. THREAD:
For years, the US has fallen behind other major economies in some of the most critical areas of competition. By investing in our physical infrastructure and our people, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and Build Back Better Agenda will set us back on track to lead the world.
The auto industry's future is electric. China has produced 2 times more electric vehicles (EVs) than we have. @POTUS's infrastructure bill and Build Back Better Agenda will close the gap by establishing the first national network of EV chargers and EV tax credits for consumers.
Last night the Senate took an important step toward passing the Build Back Better Agenda – a plan to create jobs, cut taxes, and lower costs for working families. For today's #WhiteHouseDeepDive, let's look at how this plan brings down costs for Americans.

By lowering health insurance premiums, the Build Back Better Agenda will save 9 million people an average of $50 per person per month, and help an additional 4 million uninsured people gain coverage. The plan will also add dental, vision, and hearing coverage to Medicare.
The Build Back Better Agenda's health care savings don't stop at more affordable coverage. President Biden knows that nearly 1 in 4 Americans struggle to afford their prescription drugs. His plan will lower costs by empowering Medicare to negotiate and drive down drug prices.

With a multibillion dollar backlog of repairs, America’s transit is severely neglected. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal invests $105B to make repairs and upgrades, modernize bus and rail fleets, increase station accessibility, and bring transit service to new communities. 2/10
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal goes further than just repairing the infrastructure we already have – it also invests in reducing our public transit's carbon footprint by replacing thousands of transit vehicles, including buses, with clean, zero-emission vehicles. 3/10
Despite the strong economic recovery under President Biden, two once-in-a-generation economic downturns have made the path to the middle class difficult for many young Americans. Here's a #WhiteHouseDeepDive into how the Build Back Better Agenda helps young people. THREAD:
Young people face barriers on the path to economic security. Home ownership rates are at a historic low for young adults, child care for two children costs at least 50% of the median millennial's salary in 47 states and DC, and the climate crisis poses an urgent threat. 2/10
So how does the Build Back Better Agenda help? It starts with education:
- Providing 2 years of free community college
- Lowering costs for low and middle income students at HBCUs and minority-serving institutions
- Raising the maximum Pell Grant by nearly $1,500

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework takes critical first steps to address economic inequities and decades of infrastructure neglect that have disproportionately impacted communities of color.

Today's digital divide is stark.
Black families are 9% less likely to have high-speed internet than their white peers – and Latino Americans are 15% less likely. Roughly 35% of individuals living on Tribal lands lack access to broadband internet.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework will help close the digital divide by bringing down internet service costs across the board and delivering high-speed broadband to every American home -- making high-speed broadband more affordable for all.
Today President Biden outlined key pieces of his Build Back Better Agenda, a plan that would rebuild the middle class and create an economy that works for every American.
But, how exactly do we Build Back Better? Let's dig in with a #WhiteHouseDeepDive THREAD🧵

To win the 21st Century, build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, and deal everyone in – we need to invest in our people. The Build Back Better Agenda combines the American Families Plan and the remaining pieces of the American Jobs Plan to do just that.
The Agenda will make education more affordable and expand opportunity by providing free universal preschool and two years of free community college, lowering college costs for low-and middle-income students, and increasing Pell Grants.
After months of negotiation, we reached a bipartisan infrastructure deal that will make historic investments across our nation’s transit, high-speed broadband, and water systems.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework will make the largest investment in bridges since the interstate highway system was created. It will replace the 10 most economically significant bridges and 10,000 more small bridges throughout the country.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework is also the most significant investment in passenger rail since Amtrak was constructed.
Since President Biden took office, we've been working to build an economy that works for every American — especially middle class Americans — not just a few at the top.
At just over 5 months in, let's check our progress.

The U.S. has fallen behind our economic competitors when it comes to the number of women in the labor force.
The pandemic has exacerbated this problem. A lack of family friendly policies, such as paid family and medical leave, is a key reason for declining competitiveness. 2/9

The lack of paid family and medical leave has severe consequences on the U.S. economy.
