Biden’s string of policy goals aims to boost middle class footing
President Biden has moved through pandemic response and vaccine rollout, exit from Afghanistan, and now pushes a $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan with New Mexico set to receive 3.5 billion. A $1.9 trillion reconciliation bill could expand pre K, child care, tax credits, Obamacare subsidies, housing, Pell grants, and school meals to grow the middle class while Manchin and Sinema seek tax changes. Inflation and supply chain risks loom, with officials promising containment to protect electoral prospects. Tom McDonald is editor of the New Mexico Community News Exchange. Contact him at:
