Biden Administration's Early Legislative Achievements

The Biden administration, with a Democratic Congress, passed significant legislation early on, including the American Rescue Plan with a $1.9 trillion stimulus package. This plan addressed direct payments to individuals, extended unemployment benefits, and allocated funds to state and local governments. Additionally, Congress approved the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, providing substantial funding for various infrastructure projects like transportation and broadband. Despite controversies, the Inflation Reduction Act aimed to combat inflation through measures like reducing the deficit, cutting prescription drug prices, and promoting clean energy.
