Biden Expected to Pursue Infrastructure Agenda Next

President Biden is expected to make an effort to tackle infrastructure in his next major legislative initiative following enactment of his American Rescue Plan, which provided $1.9 trillion in COVID relief and economic stimulus spending. The president is expected to unveil a $3 trillion "Build Back Better" plan to invest in domestic infrastructure and climate initiatives. Congress is expected to seek the policy through a budget reconciliation process that will allow for simple majorities to approve in both the House and Senate. As with the $1.9 trillion package, questions are expected to remain on how to pay for the spending plan and whether PAYGO rules will require future spending cuts to cover the costs.
