The Problem with Biden’s Proposed Infrastructure Bill
inform listeners of shortfalls in the bill and rally public support against the Build Back Better Bill.
The Build Back Better bill not only worsens the current economic stress but also establishes the Biden administration as unempathetic to the public, primarily because of the tax hikes that will result from it.
Too costly
The bill is too expensive for the economy.
The impact of the pandemic is still heavy, and the bill strongly depends on borrowed money.
Transition
Taxation and misplaced priority
The bill necessitates tax raises on Americans, most of whom have lost their jobs or are struggling due to the pandemic.
The Build Back Better Bill provides social welfare safety nets instead of trying to revamp the economy in a more focussed manner.
Because of its broad focus, it is addressing issues that are not important for speedy and sustainable economic recovery.
Transition
A lack of public goodwill.
The bill has received heavy opposition in congress.
Because of its unpopularity in congress, it is strongly opposed in the court of public opinion; passing the bill will be tantamount to acting against public opinion and, therefore, interest.
Transition
Conclusion: There is need for people to speak up against the bill. Despite harsh opposition in congress, the Biden administration is still trying to push the proposal. Public outcry against it will help the administration realize its unpopularity on the ground.
