ProsperUS Urges Swift Passage of Build Back Better Act
Washington, DC – This afternoon, Pres. Joe Biden will sign the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. Claire Guzdar, spokesperson for ProsperUS, released the following statement:
“When Pres. Biden signs the bipartisan infrastructure bill into law, our country will move closer to challenging decades of failed economic policies that have benefited the rich and powerful at the expense of everybody else.
“But this is only a partial victory. Congress must pass and the President must sign the Build Back Better Act, which will deliver historic investments to deeply neglected sectors of our economy, from climate resilience to jobs, health care, and child care. Together, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and the Build Back Better Act will set us on the path to a healthier, more prosperous economy that works for all of us.
“Workers, families, and communities cannot afford any further delays. As soon as the House passes the Build Back Better legislation, the Senate should move quickly to send it to the President’s desk for his signature.”
