Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden outlined a sweeping plan on Tuesday aimed at breathing life into the coronavirus-battered U.S. economy by investing $775 billion in caregiving programs for children, the elderly and the disabled.

Both Biden and Republican President Donald Trump are eager to woo working women who are caring for parents and children during a pandemic that has shuttered schools and workplaces. Eager to erase Trump’s advantage with voters on the economy, Biden’s latest plan is the third of a four-part approach he has rolled out in recent weeks.

The campaign said the initiative would be paid for by rolling back tax breaks for real estate investors and tightening enforcement of the existing U.S. tax code.

Completely unfundable unless you raise taxes for everybody at least 10% with no loopholes. Nothing is free!!

JoeBiden hey SenileJoe, when you next have a lucid moment, please tell we mere taxpayers how you would finance such a large entitlement as this. Or just have DrBiden move your mouth while others answer the question, like normal.

sure, pledge 'free' everything. the next step is to find the 'free' stuff. and, when you do, you'll prefer to pay. an old American trick.

Free is me er free. Someone pays

America is the wealthiest country on earth. We should be following the same model that Sweden uses. Provide child care, paid maternity leave up to a year, and universal health care. We can be better.

Brahahahaha- is cant even get teachers back in the classroom.

Anytime you hear “free” from a politician, you should substitute it with “government-controlled”

He calls it “The Rabbit Factor”

The Elizabeth Warren agenda that voters said no to. Now that’s funny.

While a good idea, describing as 'free' ignores economic reality. Ironically enough, it is lack of actual education in US schools in the first place that leads voters to believe there are free lunches to be had. Maybe try 'Tax-funded' or 'Funded via printing press'.

I love praising mediocrity

Three-year-olds should not be in full-time school. He's not different than Trump. The donor-class wants this, so their workers will get back to work faster.

Why didnt he propose that 12 yrs ago. WakeUpPeople

He’s a DEMOcRAT. Everything is free

Translated: Anyone dumb enough to keep a job will be providing free health care, school, and subsidized unemployment payments to everyone else.

It’s needed. I don’t even have kids, but it’s needed.

No he didn’t he said if you’re poor it shouldn’t be more than 7% of your income. So not free. Typical neolib promises. Biden doesn’t care about us.

And cancel student debt

Never Demopublican

Dementia biden

trump2020 traitor democrats

That would be a huge benefit to working class families. Daycare costs are insane ~$2,200/mo per kid in my city.
