President Joe Biden wants to invest $ 2,000 billion in US infrastructure to create millions of jobs. But it still has to go through the US Congress. Republicans are important because Biden wants to raise taxes for businesses to pay for his ambitious plans.

It will also create 180 billion clean energy and 170 billion jobs in the electric car industry. ‘

The ultimate goal is a combination of a highly competitive economy, better infrastructure and more employment. “It’s like Franklin Delano Roosevelt with his new contract. He wanted to help people find work with a few big projects and get America out of depression.”

So you know Python still has a game of chess. ‘
