Biden: Infrastructure Bill ‘Will Help Make a Historic Recovery, a Long Term Boom’ in Economy

TRANSCRIPT:

BIDEN: "Forecasters on Wall Street project that over the next ten years, our economy will expand by trillions of dollars and will create an additional two million jobs a year beyond what was already projected. Good-paying jobs all around the country. Experts believe that the majority of the bill's benefits will flow to working families. Faster commutes, cleaner water, less expense, available and affordable internet, these are the things that working families needs — that they need. And last week’s job report shows our economy is recovering at a record rate. 934,000 new jobs created in July. It’s going to go up and down, but four million jobs created since I took office. This bill is going to help make a historic recovery, a long term boom. Folks, above all, this historic investment in infrastructure is what I believe you, the American people, want. What you’ve been asking for for a long, long time. This bill shows that we can work together. I know a lot of people, some sit in the audience here, didn't think this could happen."
