Demokraterna går vidare med reformer – trots motvind

The Build Back Better Plan or Build Back Better agenda was a soft infastructure legislation plan proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden ahead of his inauguration. It includes funding for COVID-19 relief, social services, welfare, and infrastructure, in addition to funds allocated towards reducing the effects of climate change.The plan was divided into three parts. The American Rescue Plan, a COVID-19 relief package, was signed into law in March 2021. The other two parts were reworked into different bills over the course of extensive negotiations. The American Jobs Plan (AJP) was a proposal to fund infrastructure and reduce the effects of climate change, while the American Families Plan (AFP) was a social policy proposal that included spending on welfare and social services. Aspects of infrastructure spending in the AJP were incorporated into the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into law on November 15. Other portions of the AJP – such as funding related to climate change and home care – were included in the Build Back Better Act, which also incorporates parts of the AFP relating to welfare and social services.
