President Biden and the Democratic Congressional Caucus have been working together to promote the $1.9 trillion bailout bill, but they are prepared for each other, and there are disagreements within the party about the next round of large-scale economic revitalization programs.
The next economic revitalization bill that Biden will introduce may exceed the amount of the Epidemic relief bill. Congress is in a 50/50 split, with little chance of passing. The priority bills to be pushed by the Biden Administration will bring out various needs, from fighting climate change to promoting immigration policy, with various initiative groups fighting for inclusion in the bill.
The Democratic Party is facing a crisis of division as people from all walks of Life compete against each other. In the process of promoting the epidemic relief bill, Democratic congressmen are generally united, despite the different views on raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour and other issues, the bill is expected to be voted on and passed in the House next week.
If another economic bill is introduced that costs several trillion dollars and is not relevant to the emergency relief, moderate Democratic members of Congress will be deterred. The Democratic Party is now in internal debate over where the budget for the future bill will come from and how it will raise taxes.
Three people familiar with the matter revealed that the Democratic Party’s top congressional leaders have launched a discussion, the next may propose a bill with a budget of up to 1.3 trillion dollars, including the expansion of jobs in different fields, the launch of various infrastructure packages, in order to shout for Biden’s “rebuild a better future” (Build Back Better The bill will lay the foundation for Biden’s “Build Back Better” administration plan.
Since Biden took office, he has first introduced a $1.9 trillion epidemic bailout bill, and before former President Trump was about to step down, Congress had just passed a total of $4 trillion bailout bill at the end of 2020. The Democratic congressional caucus assistant said that the amount of the bill under discussion is only a preliminary estimate and may still be adjusted later.
The Biden administration hopes that the new bailout proposal will raise the basic federal hourly wage to $15 by 2025, but it faces some Democratic lawmakers and congressional obstruction.
However, Biden is concerned that the pay raise provision may not apply to a balanced budget, because under its restrictions, the Senate rules prohibit Congress from using this law to approve measures not directly related to the budget.
In addition, Biden vowed to reopen schools within 100 days of taking office, but the Biden administration has released conflicting news in recent weeks. Biden said late on the 16th that he hoped to keep most elementary schools open five days a week within the 100-day target, but his spokesman said last week that he was considering keeping more than 50 percent of schools open at least one day a week.
Biden’s staffers downplayed the aforementioned contradictions, arguing that after the epidemic improves, more school districts will open without the controversy; political analysts believe that if Biden fails to deliver on his promises, he may defy voter expectations.
