The White House on Thursday morning announced a revised, $1.75 trillion spending package aimed at overhauling the American health-care, education, climate, and tax laws. The new package is meant to appeal to all congressional Democrats, which the initial Build Back Better proposal could not.
The framework bill was released after weeks of negotiations between the White House and Senate Democrats. House Democrat are still in the earlier stages of writing their version.
Biden visited Capitol Hill on Thursday morning to discuss the new package with House Democrats, many of whom are upset to see social spending programs slashed from the bill in the Senate negotiations.
The president is expected to deliver a public address discussing the new bill, selling the idea once again as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to overhaul the parts of the American social framework that are no longer working hard for Americans.
