Rep. Porter: Infrastructure Alone Is Not Enough for Economic Recovery, 90% of Those Jobs Will Go to Men

EXCERPT:

PORTER: "Well, let’s remember that infrastructure alone is not going to give the job creation that we need to have an economic recovery. About 90% of those infrastructure jobs will go to men and these are good, important, high-paying jobs and I support them. But if we want to continue to govern and lead and we want to continue to support President Biden, then we need to pass the agenda that he ran on, and that is an agenda that means two free years of community college, it's an agenda that supports child care, it’s an agenda that recognizes the crisis that senior care and elder care, community-based care is creating in this country, and it’s dealing with climate change, particularly with younger voters. If we don’t do something that is urgent and really necessary on climate change, I don’t think we’ll see younger voters get out to the polls at all, much less to support, you know, either party.”
