WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden called his infrastructure plan bold on Wednesday and insisted the massive piece of legislation is necessary. Put simply, these are investments we have to make, he said during a speech in Pittsburgh. Put another way, we can t afford not to.
The White House has billed the sweeping proposal, dubbed the American Jobs Plan, as a domestic investment not seen in the U.S. since the construction of the interstate highways in the 1950s and the Space Race a decade later.

With nods to FDR, JFK and LBJ, Biden goes big on infrastructure plan Alexander Nazaryan
President Biden traveled to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to introduce a $2.25 trillion infrastructure plan that, in both scope and cost, amounts to the most ambitious attempt by the federal government to refashion the nation’s economy and social fabric since at least Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society program of the 1960s.
As with many of his recent proposals, Biden framed the infrastructure plan as one of a superpower seeking to regain its footing, arguing that the investments the White House has outlined $115 billion to repair roadways, $100 billion for high-speed internet and many other modernizing initiatives would “put us in a position to win the global competition with China in the upcoming years.”
