In a rousing speech to Congress, Joe Biden has triumphantly declared that the United States is 'on the move again'.
US President Joe Biden triumphantly declared Wednesday that the United States is"on the move again" in a rousing speech to Congress, calling for trillions of dollars to rebuild the post-COVID US middle class and give new life to"forgotten" workers.
Mr Biden, who was celebrating the eve of his 100th day in office, called the vaccine rollout one of"the greatest logistical achievements" in the nation's history. "You feel left behind and forgotten in an economy that's rapidly changing. Let me speak directly to you," Mr Biden said, before going on to promise Americans"good-paying jobs that can't be outsourced."In every aspect of the primetime television speech, Mr Biden echoed his almost daily mantra that"America is back" -- both in recovering from the coronavirus disaster and in putting the turbulence of the Trump era behind.
He pleaded with Republicans and Democrats to work together on one of the nation's most hot button topics, saying"let's end our exhausting war on immigration."However, Mr Biden is banking on popular support for his idea of leaning on the super rich to fund his latest new spending proposal, which he unveiled in the speech - the $US1.8 trillion American Families Plan.
