Summary
This is the next big thing for Biden and the Democrats. Bill talks to a White House insider who takes on the GOP criticism of the plan and makes the strong case for passage. That insider is Jared Bernstein, a long-serving top economic advisor to Joe Biden. First, as Chief Economist & Economic Adviser to Vice President Biden and now a Member of The Council of Economic Advisors for President Biden.
Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Truck drivers of course, but also airline pilots, healthcare workers, zoo keepers and much more. Information at Teamster.org.
