In another sign of how far apart both sides remain, Friday’s memo contains a section more than a page long that raises concerns about investments that are either “entirely left out” or inadequately funded by the Republican proposal.
For instance, officials reiterated Biden’s support for power sector investments and tax credits; funding to plug oil and gas wells and clean up abandoned mines; building construction funding and tax credits; funding for veterans’ hospital repairs; and an expansion of home care.
The memo also suggests that Biden will not back down on his push for funding for electric vehicles, elimination of lead pipes and greater resilience of physical infrastructure to protect it from extreme weather.
Biden awarded the U.S. military’s highest honor to Ralph PuckettJr., a retired Army colonel who led the capture and defense of Hill 205 under heavy attack from the Chinese in November 1950 during the Korean War.
“Today we are hosting a true American hero and awarding an honor that is long overdue, more than 70 years overdue,” Biden told the room of administration officials, lawmakers, Korean officials and members of Puckett’s family.
