November 05, 2021 In the United States, in the House of Representatives, another setback for the social agenda of the president, Joe Biden.
Yet another uprising in the Democrats has blocked the vote on the nearly $ 2 trillion package that aimed to review national laws on health care, education, climate, immigration and taxes.
The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said she was certain that it will be the gift to Americans for Thanksgiving.
Answering questions about Democrats failing either Build Back Better or the giant infrastructure plan, the House Speaker said the "vitality and diversity" of different opinions is exactly what the party values most.
Pelosi has announced that the Dems are still going ahead with the planned agenda of voting for the infrastructure plan for today.
Build Back Better is a gigantic spending plan that includes investments in health care, childcare and to combat climate change. But after weeks of negotiations, the Democrats are still negotiating on the details and now, Pelosi said, the vote on this nearly $ 1.8 trillion plan will take place "not before the Thanksgiving holiday," which is expected. for November 25th.
Pelosi, however, still hopes that the other major investment plan by Joe Biden, the $ 1.2 trillion package for the country's crumbling infrastructure, will be voted in the House tonight.
The more progressive wing, however, has warned several times that it will not support the measure without a guarantee of the passage of measures on social security and the climate.
The social agenda has instead been "stopped" by the centrist wing who wants clarification on the tax implications of Build Back Better, which is a law of spending but also of taxes.
