I do not believe Republicans are capable of putting Americans first. Twice already President Biden has stated publically he wants to work wtih Republicans in the US Senate on an infrastructure bill. And what do the Republicans have to say?
NOTHING. The Republicans are not saying anything about the Americans that are chronically unemployed or worse. Ya, know, they are just no good lazy people. That is the real problem.
...These individuals (click here) wanted and were available for work and had looked for a job
sometime in the prior 12 months but had not looked for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. The
number of discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached who believed that no jobs were
available for them, was little changed at 565,000 in April but is 164,000 higher than in February 2020....
Over half a million workers are unable to find jobs since the Global Pandemic. Their future as well as their family's future are still in limbo.

President Joe Biden’s nearly $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan, (click here) unveiled on March 31, 2021, proposes a multitrillion-dollar infrastructure and jobs investment over eight years, paid for with what the administration calls a “Made in America Corporate Tax Reform Plan” over the next decade and a half.
The biggest chunk, $1.3 trillion, would go toward infrastructure spending on two fronts: transportation and community. The balance, more than $980 billion, would involve investments in research and development research and development (R&D), workforce development, manufacturing, and eldercare.
What follows is a breakdown of proposed spending before negotiations between Republicans and Democrats begin in earnest.
As proposed, the American Jobs Plan:
Involves a nearly $2.3 trillion, the 8-year investment paid for with increased corporate taxes over 15 years.
Is expected to create millions of prevailing-wage jobs.
Invests $1.3 trillion on a combination of community and transportation infrastructure spending to build, repair, and upgrade highways; provide affordable housing; build new schools; and more.
Allocates $580 billion for research and development, workforce development, and manufacturing.
Includes $400 billion to support home- and community-based care for the elderly and disabled....
