(Washington) United States President Joe Biden on Saturday welcomed the adoption of his vast infrastructure investment plan, “a colossal step forward” wrested after months of laborious negotiations.
He affirmed that he would promulgate this law “soon”, for an amount of 1200 billion dollars, which received the final endorsement of the US Congress on Friday evening, with the support of the vast majority of Democrats but also of a handful of Republicans.
“To all those at home who feel abandoned and left behind in an economy which changes so rapidly: this law is for you”, launched the Democratic president, assuring that the jobs thus created “will not require University diploma “.
He also pledged to have Congress vote on the social and ecological aspect of his ambitious reform projects, still blocked by the divisions of his Democratic camp.
“I will be clear: we will pass it to the House of Representatives and we will pass it to the Senate”, he hammered, considering that the bill “Build Back Better”, or “rebuild better”, for an amount of approximately 1750 billion dollars, would be “a historic investment”.
Asked about the reasons for such confidence, Joe Biden replied, with a smile: “Me”.
