The US presidential administration Joe Biden is developing a plan for stimulating the American economy, which involves the allocation of about $ 3 trillion. It is reported by The New York Times.

It is considered the possibility that funds that will be received by increasing taxes for corporations and the most wealthy citizens will be sent to financing projects.

Funds, in particular, will be sent to the needs in the field of science, education and the fight against climate change. The complex of measures will also include projects for the development of infrastructure in the United States. Among the measures under consideration are the development of the US transport system, the Internet, the fifth generation, energy system, as well as a number of programs for professional retraining of citizens. According to advisers to the American leader, all this can help increase labor productivity in the country.

According to the sources of the publication, the specified plan has been discussing for several months. It is expected that it will be presented to Biden for consideration already this week.

The White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki noted that Biden and his assistants are “considering a number of potential measures” aimed at supporting the population and changing the tax system in the United States.

We will remind, earlier this month, Biden signed a new package of measures to stimulate the country's economy in the context of a pandemic approved by Congress. It provides for the allocation of approximately $ 400 billion directly to the fight against pandemia, about $ 1 trillion should be aimed at assisting the population, another $ 500 billion for stimulating the economy.
