Yesterday's #PresidentBiden press conference had very few questions on economy, so here is a synopsis on the #BuildBackBetter plan with a focus on #Infrastructure and possible #TaxReform as a way to pay for it
The Biden "Build Back Better” plan focuses on four main national challenges:
1. Infrastructure and Clean Energy
•Biden will make a $1.7 trillion accelerated investment, with a plan to deploy those resources over the first four years.
The plan will create millions of private sector jobs, and rebuild roads, bridges, water systems, battery charging stations, and electricity grids. This pillar also emphasizes access to clean air & water by providing zero-emissions public transportation to cities

Hi @SRuhle thanks for the shout out

Here is a framework for stimulus package that I have been discussing w @RoKhanna & @TimRyan

1. Right now protect small business & cover loss wages via cash, grants, loans –needs to be well north of $1 trillion
2. Post 3 months :
Rid sales tax & lower payroll tax to stimulate demand

3. 6+mo: Treasury should issue coronavirus recovery bond where proceeds go to help those individuals & small business impacted.
Act 2009 - Build America Bonds.
Let's invest to help USA make the rate a little higher than savings account so those at or near retirement earn a little more income.

recall:
WWI - Liberty Bonds.
WWII- Defense / War Bonds.
NYC Post 9/11- Liberty Bonds.
Great Recession/ Recovery Act 2009 - Build America Bonds
