President Joe Biden unveiled his ambitious New Deal-like economic plan Wednesday aimed at restoring U.S. infrastructure, making the nation more technologically competitive and resolving inequalities. The $2.3 trillion package seeks to not only make much-needed upgrades to roads, bridges, public transit and the electric grid, but also provide funding for high-speed internet to close the country’s digital divide, as well as invest in affordable housing, electric vehicles, manufacturing, and clean energy and water.
