President Joe Biden’s $2trillion plan Wednesday to rebuild the nation’s aging infrastructure, support electric vehicles and clean energy, and boost access to caregivers and their pay represents a massive undertaking that would be the centerpiece of his economic agenda.
Biden wants to raise taxes on corporations to pay for the eight-year package. The proposal would increase the corporate tax rate to 28% and overhaul how the U.S. taxes multinational corporations.
Even as infrastructure generally has widespread bipartisan support, Biden faces a giant challenge. Republicans have balked at the suggestion of tax hikes and warned they would oppose a package that strays from core transportation infrastructure.
