| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jill on Money Podcast. It is Monday, May 3rd, and I had the entire weekend |
| 0:11.3 | to absorb that proposed plan from the Biden administration, the American Families Plan. |
| 0:20.5 | I talked a little bit about it last week when it first came out, but more details started |
| 0:24.7 | to emerge day by day. So I thought it might be worthwhile to get you started on the |
| 0:30.1 | week with a little refresher on what just is on the table. Remember, it's not a done deal |
| 0:37.0 | yet. We got a long way to go, but there's a lot on the table. It's a $1.8 trillion plan. |
| 0:43.9 | One trillion is the plan to spend. And $800 billion is essentially making a lot of those |
| 0:53.3 | child care and dependent care tax credits permanent. So what would happen is the top marginal |
| 1:00.5 | tax rate would increase capital gains for folks who make more than a million bucks would |

| 1:38.9 | from Saturday morning. Jill, good morning. And let's start with the latest. It's the |
| 1:43.7 | third big, near $2 trillion spending plan that the president has proposed. What were your |
| 1:49.8 | key takeaways and what are some of the details you can share with us? |
| 1:53.0 | Well, I think what's interesting is that the Biden plans taken together, they're like |
| 1:57.3 | the trilogy, right? We had the American Jobs Plan, the American Rescue Plan, and now we |
| 2:03.1 | had the American Families Plan. And the major theme of all of them is a central one that's |
| 2:09.2 | really different. It is that government is important in helping American families and |
| 2:15.6 | the American economy. And I think what's really important about this, that we look as we |
