October 7, 2021: -On Tuesday, President Biden sought to refocus public attention on how his domestic agenda will improve average Americans’ live in Michigan, as an intraparty fight from the Democrats back in Washington threatened to drown out the message Biden has been for months hammering home.
“Look, I know there’s a lot of noise in Washington; there always is,” Biden said. “But there’s a little more than usual. I’m here today to try to set some things straight if I can.”
“These bills aren’t about left versus right or anything that pits Americans against one another,” Biden added. At the same time, he referred to his dual-track infrastructure upgrade bill and his social safety net expansion bill.
“The bills are about competitiveness versus complacency, and they’re about opportunity versus decay. About leading the world, or continue to let the world pass us by, which is happening,” he further said.
Biden was speaking at a union training center in Howell, Michigan, in a conservative county that Donald Trump won by double digits in the 2020′s presidential election.
Biden traveled to Howell in huge part to reclaim the core narrative of his first-term agenda, his plan to help the United States came from the coronavirus pandemic and “build back better” than before.
That bigger story has been drowned out in the last weeks by an ongoing battle between the progressive and moderate wings of the Democratic Party, each of which insists on having the final say about what should and should not be included in the final bills of Biden.
Republicans, meanwhile, have relished watching Democrats attack one another and argued that both bills, the safety net bill, will massively increase the federal deficit.
Democrats promised that tax hikes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations would pay for the new social benefits. Individuals making less than $400,000 a year will not pay a penny to fund these expanded benefits.
But if that is true will depend on the final legislative language, which has yet to be decided on.
Instead of focusing on the billing cost, Biden and the White House want people to focus on the individual elements of the statements, each of which tends to be popular with voters on its own.
