For now there is nothing clear about a new stimulus check in a next economic package that the president Joe Biden will present this Wednesday.
This despite the fact that a growing group of congressmen –although not yet a majority– considers it necessary to send more support for families .
The proposal of President Biden will be divided into two parts: one focused on infrastructure investments, such as the reconstruction of roads, bridges and transportation funds ; the other will focus on child and medical care and will be released in late April.
The White House Spokesperson, Jen Psaki , confirmed both, but it was previously revealed that the $ 2 to $ 3 billion plan would be the “cherry on the cake. “In the president’s economic recovery plan.
” We are still working on the total package, but he he’s going to come up with some ways to pay for that (infrastructure), and he’s also eager to hear ideas from both parties ”, Psaki told Fox News.
The president will give details of his plan in a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The federal spokeswoman said Republicans would not have to object to the plan.
Republicans in this country think we should be ranked 13 in the world when it comes to infrastructure ”, he said.
The April project will focus on social problems, especially those faced by low-income families with their children and health care.
“It will address many issues that Americans are struggling with: child care, cost health care ”, added Psaki.
