The peopleFIRST IN POWER UP: President Biden's infrastructure agenda is getting a big thumbs up from an influential coalition of unions, nonprofits, and progressive organizations. But they're encouraging him to think even bigger about tax hikes even as congressional Republicans say that's a non-starter to get their support. Biden's “Build Back Better” jobs and infrastructure package, the cornerstone of his economic agenda, could top $4 trillion.
