CBPP today released a statement from Sharon Parrott, President, on President Biden’s recovery agenda:
President Biden’s recovery proposals including both the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan constitute a ground-breaking agenda to move us toward an equitable economy and address problems that have plagued our nation for decades.
Our nation faces significant challenges. We underinvest in our infrastructure and our children; we have high levels of poverty and inequality and deep inequities across lines of race, ethnicity, and gender; some 29 million people were uninsured even before the pandemic, despite progress under the Affordable Care Act; many households can’t afford housing or high-quality child care; low-paid workers struggle to make ends meet when employed and often face serious economic instability when they lose their jobs; and many workers can’t take time off to care for a new child or attend to family health issues.

The new president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), a left-leaning think tank focused on reducing poverty and inequality, is taking the reins at a time when those issues are also at the forefront for President Biden
“It is a moment where there is a willingness as a country to take action and to recognize that we need to take action not only to address the current crisis, both the health and economic crisis, but that we have really long-standing, important problems in our country that need addressing,” Sharon Parrott said in an interview with The Hill last week.
Biden this week began a series of bipartisan meetings at the outset of an ambitious push for $2.35 trillion in spending for everything from roads and electric cars to new schools and senior living facilities. To cover the costs, Biden wants to hike corporate taxes.
A regionally diverse group of House and Senate lawmakers from both parties who know transportation and public works by virtue of their committee assignments and state experiences offered polite advice for an hour and 40 minutes without coming to consensus.
It was the start of a legislative process that will consume months and may result in politically tense adaptations in order to secure Democratic votes in the Senate, let alone any Republican support ahead of next year’s midterms.
