Among its sweeping agenda items, the plan also calls for devoting hundreds of billions of dollars to fighting child poverty and ensuring affordable child care nationwide. To pay for these initiatives, White House officials are also proposing $1.5 trillion in tax hikes aimed primarily at increasing the amount paid by wealthy Americans and investors.

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Glad he seems to be going with the ‘kitchen sink’ strategy, given it’s likely he won’t have a Congressional majority for very long no matter what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
