The Facts

  • Biden met with CEOs from 10 large American corporations this week in an effort to revive his $1.7 trillion Build Back Better plan focusing on social safety and climate change.

  • These included Ford, GM, Microsoft, Salesforce, Siemens and others interested in expanding green energy and electrical vehicles.


The Spin

Right narrative

Congress has approved $3.1 trillion in new spending since Biden took office, while doing little to fund it. With rising debt, inflation and geopolitical challenges in Ukraine and elswhere, it's irresponsible for Biden to continue pushing this unpopular package on a skeptical public.

Left narrative

The BBB plan is supported by America's business leaders because it's a far-sighted effort to improve the productivity of American workers and industry, boosting competitiveness and ultimately lowering inflation.
