In theory, President Biden’s infrastructure plan should raise growth; in practice, it is more complicated, writes Greg Ip

It is also much harder to pull off. That’s because long-run growth depends not just on the quantity of investment but how it’s targeted.

Mr. Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan has goals beyond simply raising gross domestic product: narrowing racial, urban-rural and economic disparities, boosting union membership and combating climate change. Not to mention the challenge of getting any legislation through a closely divided Congress.

Federal investment in domestic physical infrastructure, research and development, and education and training has declined steadily since the 1960s, to between 1% and 2% of GDP recently. Mr. Biden aims to reverse that, boosting federal investment by 1% of GDP over eight years.

And taxes... A massive liberal spending orgy will also inevitably raise taxes as debt will skyrocket.

Unfortunately I think the Democrats are almost in the process of overheating the US economy with all their stimulus. The US economy would recover naturally with increased vaccination rate and peoples savings from last year (lockdown = less consumption = piles of cash) .

Time to raise taxes on the rich, another smart move from POTUS & also polls very well with all Americans. There wouldn't even be a stock market without the Middle-class. It's time for regular Americans to get tax breaks while the rich pay.

This will all just flow to the few billionaires. The rest are just slave labor now

Literally no one saying it’s not complicated

WeThePeople Patriots, please stand shoulder to shoulder with God to destroy the devil's agents and all traitors. Rebuilding America, success or failure depends on this! Fight to the end, never compromise!

WeThePeople This is war! This is a life-and-death battle between devil agents all over the world and anti-human cult organizations such as the Communist Party of China stealing the United States of America in an attempt to enslave the people of the United States forever!

The U.S. Constitution also gives Americans the right to bear arms to overthrow 'the Congress of the United States, the Supreme Court, and the Deep State, three thousand tyrants a mile away, who pretend to be God, violate the U.S. Constitution, and subvert America'!!!!!

The people of the United States of America have forgotten the tea dumping incident in Boston. Without guns, there would be no America!!!!! Americans have the right to overthrow a tyrant three thousand miles away with a gun!!!!!

Pathetic take on infrastructure spending. You are definitely against a Democratic America.

thank you very much for your work
