White House readies another massive spending proposal – By Brett Samuels (The Hill) / April 21 2021
The White House is readying another massive spending proposal that would cover child care, universal pre-K and community college tuition, even as the path forward on its $2.3 trillion infrastructure package remains unclear.
President Biden is expected to outline his American Families Plan proposal before delivering a joint address to Congress on April 28. The White House has not provided details on the plan, but it is expected to address so-called human infrastructure like child care and family care programs, with a price tag that could hit $1 trillion.
“President Biden has already put forward the first part of his historic plan to invest in the strength of America’s economy and families, and he’ll be outlining the second element of that proposal in the coming days,” Mike Gwin, a White House spokesman, said in a statement.
“The details of that package are still being finalized, so speculation as to its final contents is premature at this point.”
