First 100 Days of Joe Biden – Focus on the Economy

On the American evening yesterday, Joe Biden gave his first official speech, one day before his first 100 days in the US government. Among the topics covered was a nearly $ 1.8 trillion plan to expand America’s social safety net, from childcare to education, from paid vacation to healthcare. To be funded, at least in part, by a massive tax hike for the wealthy, by canceling the tax rebates that Donald Trump wanted. This plan is called the American Families Plan, and it will be an added part of the US Jobs Plan, the industrialization and infrastructure plan proposal of 2,300 billion euros for energy transition and the fight against climate change.
