The US Senate thanks to the voices of Democrats decided to take a plan by 3.5 trillion dollars, which will allow the President of the Country Joe Biden to implement unprecedented programs to combat poverty and environmental protection, writes Bloomberg.
The project involves a significant reduction in taxes for the middle class, paid child care leave, the availability of universal pre-school education, two years of free training in public college and expanding medical care programs.
In addition, a series of measures should also help to overcome climate change. Among them are the introduction of fees for importing polluting nature of products and incentives for electricity suppliers. Part of the costs should be covered by tax growing for corporations and rich citizens who were reduced during the former President Donald Trump.
Chairman of the Burney Sanders Budget Committee said that the plan was dedicated to “long-ignored needs of working families, and not only 1 percent of the population” and “must return the faith of the American people to the fact that the government can work for everyone, and not for a few” . Now the project will also consider the Chamber of Representatives.
Biden in recent months actively played with plans to strengthen the focus on the social and environmental agenda. So, in August, he signed a decree imposing an accelerated refusal to traditional machines, but significant budget funds will be required to implement such a goal. In July, the US President made an intention to expand the program to support the income of the population.
