Summary
met with Biden, Vice President Harris and other administration officials at the White House last week.In another sign of how far apart both sides remain, Friday’s memo contains a section more than a page long that raises concerns about investments that are either “entirely left out” or inadequately funded by the Republican proposal.For instance, officials reiterated Biden’s support for power sector investments and tax credits; funding to plug oil and gas wells and clean up abandoned mines; building construction funding and tax credits; funding for veterans’ hospital repairs; and an expansion of home care.The memo also suggests that Biden will not back down on his push for funding for electric vehicles, elimination of lead pipes and greater resilience of physical infrastructure to protect it from extreme weather.Republicans have been critical not only of the size of Biden’s infrastructure proposal, which he laid out in March, but also of his proposed increase of the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent to pay for the investments.
