- (General Dispatch) – Potential tax increases being evaluated by the Biden administration in support of its $3 trillion infrastructure package are opposed by moderate Democrats in the House of Representatives.
- Senate Democrats have stated that the Biden proposal will not be considered until state and local tax cuts are debated first.
- The White House’s ambition should be studied carefully, said Representative Josh Gottheimer. He emphasized that the pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the economy.
- For this reason, the Senate should objectively debate the next steps to be taken, because the nation’s economy is in austerity. And the intention to increase taxes could generate changes.
- Similarly, the White House Press Secretary informed that disagreements are always present, but that they will work towards establishing an optimal structure for all.
- In fact, the Secretary stated that President Biden’s purpose is to design new sources of employment in order to be more competitive and efficient.
- It should be noted that opponents of the measures warn that if this decision is approved, the so-called Biden package, which does not bring with it efficient policies, would be fully endorsed.
- In summary, all ambiguities will be submitted to a vote in the Senate, where it is expected that reason prevails and that the nation’s economic variables are not altered.
