Quote:Originally posted by THG: A breakthrough on immigration? You are likely to hear it from President Biden this week when he speaks to a joint session of Congress. Biden will tell Congress that immigration reform is free money for the American economy. How? Citizenship for millions of immigrants already working here opens the door to new tax dollars and increased consumer spending. Now that's a new look at immigration. Suddenly, alarmist talk about scary immigrant caravans seems old.

Quote:Originally posted by THG: Here's what's in Biden's $1.8T American Families Plan Quote: President Biden on Wednesday will outline the American Families Plan, an ambitious package that would call for $1 trillion in new spending and $800 billion in new tax cuts and aim to significantly expand access to preschool and community college, as well as child care and health care benefits. The American Families Plan calls for a $200 billion program offering universal pre-kindergarten for all three- and four-year-olds; $109 billion for tuition-free community college for any American who wants it; $85 billion to increase Pell Grants to benefit low-income and minority students; and over $4 billion in funding for larger scholarships, certification and support programs for teachers. The plan would build upon provisions of the American Rescue Plan by extending the Affordable Care Act premiums tax credits indefinitely and make the earned income tax credit expansion for childless workers permanent. It would permanently make the child tax credit fully available to the lowest-income families, while extending other aspects of the expansion of the credit, such as the increase in the credit amount, through 2025. The proposal also calls for the creation of a national paid family and medical leave program. The $225 billion investment would provide workers up to $4,000 a month if they require leave to care for a new child, a seriously ill loved one, deal with an illness or another serious reason. Other measures Biden will call on Congress to pass include a $45 billion investment in meal programs for children and low-income families; unemployment insurance reform; $225 billion for investments in childcare that would include a $15 minimum wage for early childhood staff and expanded child care center accessibility. Officials said the plan would be paid for through tax reforms targeted at wealthy Americans, such as an increased capital gains tax rate, a higher top income tax rate, and increased IRS auditing enforcement on high-income individuals and businesses. "We view the American Families Plan as a core element of President Biden's strategy to build back better and generate a strong and inclusive economy for the future," a senior administration official said. The plan, which faces an uncertain future in Congress, does not go as far as some Democrats hoped. Some have pressed for a permanent expansion of the child tax credit, and it's not clear that lawmakers will be satisfied by the proposal to make part of the expansion permanent while extending other parts through 2025. Key Democrats signaled on Tuesday that the House bill would include such a provision despite Biden not proposing it in his initial proposal. Biden has also faced pressure from members of his party, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), to include health-related provisions expanding health coverage and lowering drug prices. The ideas had initially been expected to be part of the plan, but Biden did not include them in the final version. Asked why such provisions were not included, a senior administration official said that the permanent Obamacare premium tax credit represents a "critical investment" and insisted that Biden remains "fully committed to negotiations to reduce the cost of prescription drugs. The White House views the proposal as a companion to Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure and climate plan he announced last month and officials said that the investments would be made over a 10-year period. The two plans combined total over $4 trillion in government spending, on top of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill that Biden signed into law about 50 days into his term. The administration's two most recent proposals include tax increases that would pay for both plans in full over a 15-year period. Biden's proposed jobs plan would be paid for through an increase in the corporate tax rate, while Wednesday's proposal would roll back the 2017 Trump tax cuts by increasing the top individual tax rate from 37 percent to 39.6 percent for taxpayers in the top 1 percent of income. Biden is also proposing an increase in the capital gains tax rate for households making over $1 million to 39.6 percent, which officials have said would only impact 0.3 percent of taxpayers. Senior administration officials made clear the proposal is meant at a starting point and that Biden is open to hearing suggestions on what should be included and how to pay for the package. But Republicans are likely to oppose Biden's family plan and the tax hikes proposed to pay for it, and some moderate Democrats could also oppose the plan because of its large price tag and tax provisions. "What you'll hear the president explain tomorrow night is if people have other ideas about how to finance these critical investments, he is open to hearing them," said one official. "But he believes that these issues of tax fairness, of making sure people pay the taxes they already owe, are fundamental and necessary." Biden and other top administration officials are set to embark on a publicity blitz after Wednesday's speech to educate the public about both the infrastructure proposal and the families plan and win over support for both measures. The White House will face a complicated road to getting both proposals passed, even as officials have said publicly they hope to see some kind of progress on an infrastructure bill by Memorial Day and passage by summer. The White House has not ruled out using budget reconciliation to pass Biden's proposals without GOP support, which Democrats resorted to in order to pass his coronavirus relief bill. Some White House allies, such as Sen. Chris Coons (D-Dele.), have suggested working with Republicans to pass a bipartisan bill that addresses traditional infrastructure like roads, bridges, railways and broadband, while using the budget reconciliation process to pass other priorities in a way that would not require GOP support. Biden will maintain an "openness to others' ideas," a senior official told reporters, but is committed that "these are investments we can't afford not to make as a country." Go Joe...
