US Presidency
2022

Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis. It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans. Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance. And as my dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room. And unlike the $2-trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1 percent of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind. And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs. In fact—our economy created over 6.5 million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one year than ever before in the history of America.
