Biden spending bill: Debt upon more debt

With the $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” now signed into law, President Biden soon begins a nationwide tour touting its many benefits and favors. His White House prime-time speech on Thursday night delivered smoothly and calmly highlighted the hardships of the last year and the hard-fought advances made possible by the record-breaking speed of vaccine development, production, and distribution.

“It means simply this: Millions and millions of grandparents who went months without being able to hug their grandkids can now do so,” Biden said.
