$2T Infrastructure Package Includes Massive Tax Hikes; Lawmakers Raise Concern at Price Tag
President Biden unveils the Democrats next big spending plan after the virus relief package: the infrastructure package. But the price tag, numbering in the trillions, is sparking controversy on Capitol Hill. Many are voicing concerns about the tax hike, and potential effects on the economy. The U.S. commerce department issuing a statement warning against tax hikes. they note, while the commerce department has been vocal in their support of the infrastructure plan, they call the proposal quote "dangerously misguided when it comes to how to pay for infrastructure.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg walks back taxing by the mile. He now says that a mileage tax is not part of the infrastructure plan. He suggested last week a mileage tax showed “a lot of promise” to help pay for an infrastructure plan. It would tax people based on how many miles they drive and would be seen as an alternative to raising gas tax.
And a top border official says he expects over a million migrants will arrive at the US-Mexico border this year. If that happens, it'll top the 2019 border surge. And the White House is defending sending San Diego’s public school teachers to teach unaccompanied migrant kids in person. This comes while American students in the California city still entirely rely on remote learning.
