Biden promises 'once-in-a-generation' investment during pitch for $2 trillion infrastructure and climate plan

President Joe Biden unveiled a roughly $2 trillion jobs proposal focused on infrastructure and the climate crisis in a speech in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, stressing his support of labor unions and his hope the investment would lift the middle class.

"It's not a plan that tinkers around the edges," Biden said."It's a once-in-a-generation investment in America, unlike anything we've seen or done since we built the Interstate Highway System and the Space Race decades ago." "It's the largest American jobs investment since World War II. It'll create millions of jobs, good paying jobs, it'll grow the economy, make us more competitive around the world, promote our national security interests and put us in a position to win the global competition with China in the upcoming years," Biden said.

The White House says the plan would benefit communities of color, rural Americans and others burdened by the nation's decaying infrastructure.
