"I am confident that the House is going to pass this bill. And when it passes, it will go to the Senate. I think we'll get it passed within a week," Biden said in a speech on Tuesday.

The $1.75 trillion proposal aims to expand the social safety net in the United States and boost climate change policy.

lol congress hasn't even voted on increasing the debt ceiling to fun the country past 12/15. even if it passes, congress still needs to vote on funding which Republicans have said they won't vote to increase. so GL with that
Nothing about this bill will build anything back better except the elites lost profits, namely to all of our young crypto millionaires. That will be rectified soon
