President Biden is addressing Congress for the first time before a speech at a gathering on Wednesday night, a socially disoriented audience in the House Chamber – to announce that “America is moving forward again.”
“I stand here tonight, one day shy of the 100th day of my administration,” Biden said.
“After a hundred days, I have taken the oath of office – removed my family from the Bible and plunged the country into crisis. Worst epidemic in a century. Worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. “
“Now — after just 100 days — I can report to the nation: America is moving forward again. Turning into possibility. Crisis in opportunity. Shock in strength
Biden was expected to promote his latest, large-scale tax-and-proposal, dubbing it the “American Family Plan”.
The $ 1.8 trillion package would include more than $ 500 billion for education, $ 225 billion each for child care and paid time off for workers, plus $ 45 billion more for meal tickets and school meals for needy children .
The proposal, outlined earlier in the day by a senior administration official, comes on Biden’s controversial, $ 2.3 trillion infrastructure plan and $ 1.9 trillion coronovirus relief package, which he said was passed by Democratic lawmakers without a Republican vote. The latter was signed into law.
But it does not expect the repeal of the $ 10,000 cap on federal deductions for state and local taxes – known as SALT – that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said that the state’s recently adopted $ 212 billion budget needed to compensate for the tax increases.
Biden also hoped to renew his call for reform to the nation’s immigration laws to pave the way for citizenship for an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants, while compromising on who is eligible for the program. Indicates desire.
The ongoing coronavirus epidemic led House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) to impose a tighter limit on the number of attendees, reducing the typical crowd of about 1,100 to just 200.
The move will prevent First Lady Jill Biden from hosting a special box for a select group of guests.
