President Biden has been in office for more than 100 days and his honeymoon period is over; in addition to the infrastructure program, he is also facing the discontent of his fellow progressive party, the opposition of the Republican Party, and the dangerous international situation and other challenges.
In Biden’s second 100 days in office, he will make his first overseas trip and launch a variety of infrastructure, children, family education and other opportunities to expand the social safety net for young children and raise taxes for the wealthy; however, there is criticism from outsiders that his tax-funded infrastructure program is actually a name without a reality.
Overall, Biden’s plan focuses not on revitalizing the economy, but on stabilizing middle-class jobs over the long term, proving that democracy must still serve society, even in the midst of a politically divisive crisis.
“In another era when democracy is being tested, former President Roosevelt (Franklin Roosevelt) reminds us that in America, we do what we are told.” Biden said in Congress this week, “That’s what I’m asking, we must do our part, prove that democracy is strong and tested, and conquer the challenges.”
Biden faces tough challenges, especially on immigration and border issues. White House officials have been overwhelmed by the number of migrants crossing the border, most of them children.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) derided Biden’s administration as “a shopping list of trillions of dollars with no intention of achieving bipartisan consensus” and said Biden’s proposed plan gives Washington more money and power over American families.
Next month, he will also make his first overseas trip, visiting the United Kingdom for an economic forum and then Brussels to vow to support NATO. Although not yet finalized, his third trip in Europe could include a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
