Ahead of President Joe Biden s address to a joint Congress on Wednesday, the White House announced the American Families Plan, which will be an investment in our kids, our families, and our economic future.
This plan will expand on the American Rescue Plan, which provided economic support and relief during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to make it easier for American families to break into and stay in the middle class and enable people to re-enter and remain in the workforce. It is not enough to restore where we were prior to the pandemic, the White House said in the plan s fact sheet. We need to build a stronger economy that does not leave anyone behind – we need to build back better.

(Reuters) â President Joe Biden on Wednesday will propose raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans to pay for pre-kindergarten and community college education and paid leave for healthcare. The $1.8 trillion plan involves $1 trillion in new spending and $800 billion in tax credits.
WHAT AMERICANS WOULD GET
Universal pre-kindergarten: Biden will ask Congress to provide $200 billion for free preschool for all 3- and 4-year-olds.
Childcare: The package would assure that low- and middle-income families pay no more than 7 percent of their income on childcare for children under 5 years old.
Paid family leave: It would guarantee 12 weeks of paid parental and family leave by year 10 of the program and also assure that workers receive three days of bereavement leave a year starting in the first year.
