CBPP today released a statement from Sharon Parrott, President, on President Biden’s recovery agenda:
President Biden’s recovery proposals including both the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan constitute a ground-breaking agenda to move us toward an equitable economy and address problems that have plagued our nation for decades.
Our nation faces significant challenges. We underinvest in our infrastructure and our children; we have high levels of poverty and inequality and deep inequities across lines of race, ethnicity, and gender; some 29 million people were uninsured even before the pandemic, despite progress under the Affordable Care Act; many households can’t afford housing or high-quality child care; low-paid workers struggle to make ends meet when employed and often face serious economic instability when they lose their jobs; and many workers can’t take time off to care for a new child or attend to family health issues.
