Biden's American Jobs Plan
-
@george-k said in Biden's American Jobs Plan:
[N]early 20 percent of the bill goes toward expanding caregiving for the elderly and disabled by building more care centers and expanding access to home-based care, and another 13 percent goes toward boosting the U.S. manufacturing sector with large investments in semiconductors and green energy. Those investments aren’t typically seen as traditional infrastructure.
The title says it's a "Jobs" plan, not merely an "infrastructure" plan, yet the article's author is stuck not only on "infrastructure" but "traditional infrastructure." Traditionally rechargeable battery is usually not considered "infrastructure," but going into an era of electric vehicles needing a network of electrical recharging stations and an era of renewable energy sources, "semiconductor" and "green energy" become more integral to "infrastructure."

Here come the price hikes.... imagine what the Corp tax increases will do, but I suspect these announcements are starting to bake that in.

With 680,000 unemployed, why do we need MILLIONS of new jobs!?

To also improve the under-employment situation, perhaps.

How?
People mostly are worth what you pay them.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Very typical. Politicians always have these ambitious plans that use "optomistic" or "unrealistic" methods to pay for them.
"Oh, we expect growing of the economy to be 6% for the next 10 years"
"But the economy has not ever grow 6% for the past 100 years"
"Well, we are pretty sure it will start"

The market kind of irons that out. It's up to individuals to make themselves worth more. It's not that difficult.

The fault does not lie with the politicians and their unrealistic ideas. It lies with the system where there are two opposing platforms designed to appeal to a majority of the national electorate. Two low common denominators vying for supremacy. Don’t look for nuanced brilliance there.

That answers why they need to improve the teaching of STEM.
