1:19Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden is looking to sell voters on the economic benefits of the proposed $973 billion infrastructure package while in Wisconsin on Tuesday, hoping to boost support for the bipartisan agreement that is held together in large part by the promise of millions of new jobs.
Biden traveled to La Crosse, population 52,000, and toured its public transit center, highlighting projects - including hybrid buses and road repair equipment - that would receive additional funding from the infrastructure bill. Then comes his speech about the package announced last week.
The president presented his message to Democratic donors on Monday that the agreement was a way for the United States to assert the principles of democracy and the economic might that can come from dramatic investments in the country's economic future.
White House officials issued an internal memo that highlights how the largest investment in transportation, water systems and services in nearly a century would boost growth.
The memo notes that the total package is four times the size of the infrastructure investment made a dozen years ago in response to the Great Recession and the biggest since Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1930s.
It also emphasizes an analysis suggesting that 90% of the jobs generated by the spending could go to workers without college degrees, a key shift as a majority of net job gains before the pandemic went to college graduates.
