I want to talk about the Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill & what it means.
Some will say this bill represents “only 2/3” of the American Jobs Act proposals. Yes it reflect compromise.
What do we get in exchange for that compromise? So much.

Big picture:
1-This is the first infrastructure bill in years. It has always theoretically been of interest to both parties but no one could get it done.
2- This is a show of strength for a functional democracy when we badly need it.
3- There is more that can be done as needed.

This is an agreement that President Biden drove that leaves us safer, more just, with more jobs, greener and demonstrating a democracy that works.
It shows the world we can get things done with the right leadership.
