Writing on Yahoo News, the president touted it as the biggest long-term infrastructure investment in almost 100 years, while saying much remained to be done.
President Joe Biden on Monday pitched the bipartisan infrastructure deal as one “American people can be proud of,” while cautioning that there was a lot of work ahead to finish the final product. “This deal is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure in nearly a century,” Biden wrote in an op-ed on Yahoo News. “Economists of all stripes agree that it would create good jobs and dramatically strengthen our economy in the long run.” Biden also made clear that he was not satisfied that the bill is missing some “critical initiatives on climate change” — responding to criticism that he’d caved, leaving out ambitious climate goals he promised.
