What's in, and what's out, as House nears vote on Biden bill

After months of talks, the House looks poised to consider a $1.85 trillion bill to support families and education as well as protect against global warming
WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden's now- $1.85 trillion plan to boost social and education programs as well as protect against global warming continues to be fine-tuned by Democrats in Congress with a new goal of completing work before Thanksgiving.
The updated plan includes universal preschool, funding to limit child care costs and a one-year continuation of a child tax credit that was expanded earlier this year and applied to more families. But Democrats are scaling back some investments and shortening the timeframe for funding to whittle down spending. Some proposals have been dropped entirely.
The House is working to pass the legislation soon, but it will still have to clear the Senate, where revisions are likely.
The framework fits an approximately $1.85 trillion budget over 10 years, rather than the $3.5 trillion budget plan originally envisioned.
