Many Republicans and some Democrats have bristled that such spending along with more robust family-leave mandates and investments in child-care access that are expected in a second package is not “infrastructure.” Infrastructure, they argue, consists only of the physical things that make the American economy run: roads and bridges built by men in hard hats, which nearly all politicians in Washington agree require more investment and are usually prefaced with the adjective
