Here's exactly how Biden's $2 trillion of infrastructure spending breaks down

• President Joe Biden will officially announce his $2 trillion American Jobs Plan today.
• The bill contains major investments in transportation, housing, and climate change policies.
• Biden plans to offset the spending in the plan with a corporate tax increase.

President Joe Biden is set to announce the first part of his two-part infrastructure package this afternoon. It's called the American Jobs Plan, and it will cost about $2 trillion.

The package is focused on job creation, traditional infrastructure spending, and investment in many other things that stand to redefine infrastructure as a political issue, such as funding for care workers, as well as incentives for childcare to be provided at American workplaces. Biden plans to couple it with a tax increase for corporations, meant to offset the bill's spending over 15 years.
