The American Jobs Plan, to be announced by Biden in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will create millions of good-paying jobs and rebuild the US infrastructure. This is a once-in-a-century capital investment in America, according to officials. It will also position the US to out-compete China, they said.
“By investing about $2 trillion over the next eight years, we can transform our current and future infrastructure and fundamentally change life for Americans,” officials said ahead of the presidential visit to Pittsburgh. “If passed alongside President Biden’s Made in America corporate tax plan, the plan would be fully paid for within the next 15 years and reduce deficits in the years after.
This plan will bring public investment as a share of the economy back to where it was in the 1960s, the last time we made transformative investments in our nation’s infrastructure,” they said. The US is currently ranked 13th in the world in infrastructure, which the officials said has real costs.
