Biden introduced the $1.8 trillion education and social safety net plan in a joint address to Congress last week by saying, “we also need to make a once-in-a-generation investment in our families and our children.”
The proposal also calls for aiming hundreds of billions of dollars to fighting child poverty and ensuring affordable child care nationwide.
