President Biden unveiled a large and ambitious new proposal to rebuild and improve the nation’s infrastructure last week that he has dubbed the “American Jobs Plan.”
And while the proposal has met with criticism from some progressives for being insufficiently bold – especially in tackling the global climate emergency – it is, by all accounts, an ambitious plan that would, if enacted, be the largest of its kind in U.S. history.
Stephanie Gidigbi Jenkins of the nonprofit environmental advocacy organization NRDC described the plan this way in an April 2 statement:
The America Jobs Plan establishes a bold vision and new social contract for our nation’s long-term economic recovery. It tackles climate change, addresses past investment challenges, and makes a significant down payment for fixing our nation’s aging infrastructure.”
