U.S. President Joe Biden cautioned union employees Wednesday about the state of the economy and the hazards that House Republicans and their policies present to rank-and-file members.
Wednesday’s speech to the the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 26 in Maryland is the current in a string of public addresses he’s offered on his strategy to, in his words, “build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out.”
Biden has actually made a point of speaking with union employees and highlighting tasks being developed by his policies, like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, that do not need four-year college degrees. The president went to a LIUNA Laborers’ Apprenticeship and Training Center in Wisconsin recently and a steamfitters hall in Virginia in late January.
The president slammed Republican policies in Wednesday’s speech, arguing the competing GOP strategy would increase the financial obligation by more than $3 trillion over the next years, particularly benefiting the wealthiest Americans, corporations and pharmaceutical business.
Biden argued that his budget plan will not increase taxes on Americans earning less than $400,000 a year and will eventually cut the deficit by $2 trillion over the next years. The president has yet to launch his budget strategy however has actually guaranteed to do so by March 9.
