Pres. Biden Seeks Support For $3.5 Trillion "Build Back Better" Plan

No Republicans are expected to support the plan and some Senate Democrats question the cost.

Today, President Biden will continue to drum up support for his $3.5 trillion dollar "human infrastructure" plan. The White House says he'll speak about how it will lower the cost of prescription drugs. The president touted his "Build Back Better" agenda yesterday, hours after the Senate passed a budget resolution, kicking off the process for drafting and passing it in a party-line vote. "We need to make this economy work better for working families in the long run," Biden said. "These challenges were with us long before the pandemic and before I took office, but as we recover from this crisis, now is the moment to put in place the long term plan to build back America better."
