U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer talked earlier this week about President Joe Biden’s signature 1.5 trillion-dollar bill.If passed, it could fundamentally reshape underfunded social programs and crumbling infrastructure. But it’s being held up by infighting in the Democratic party.
Meanwhile, the U.S. economy is still in flux with supply chain disruptions, worker shortages, and inflation on the rise. Will Biden’s legislative agenda get passed and provide a shot in the arm to a sluggish economy?
