USA - США - SAD

President Joe Biden said Thursday evening he's considering deploying the National Guard to help ease stress on the US supply chain as it prompts growing concern about the economy, prompting a White House official to swiftly throw cold water on the plan.
"Yes, absolutely, positively. I will do that," Biden said when asked by moderator Anderson Cooper during CNN's town hall in Baltimore if he was prepared to call up the National Guard. The President said he would specifically consider calling up National Guard members for trucking to help solve a shortage of drivers "if we can't move -- increase the number of truckers, which we are in a process of doing."

As centrist Democrats try to whittle away at the price tag of $3.5 trillion over 10 years, Democratic leadership is left scrambling to determine which programs to cut. Just this week, in a meeting with progressives, Biden laid out some of the potential compromises on the table.

Biden also floated that the child tax credit only be extended for one more year, a suggestion that has key Democrats in the House balking. On the Senate side, progressives like Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, are trying to dissuade Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., from demanding major changes to the credit. Manchin wants to include new work requirements for recipients and cap household income at $60,000, cutting off a lot of the middle-class families this credit benefits.

Meanwhile, House Financial Services Chair Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., is worried that many of her housing initiatives will be stripped from the final bill. She and Brown, who is working on the Senate version of Waters’ provisions, told The New York Times they “would not accept any deal that cuts the housing plan more than any other proposal.”

Those include a suggestion that paid family leave could be reduced from 12 weeks down to four. Free community college is also apparently set to be cut, potentially to be replaced with “community college scholarships,” according to CNN’s Manu Raju.

Recently, a country's local legislative body approved a bill allowing 14-year-olds to work as late as 11 pm. Some may think this was a case in a country that is not well developed. But actually, it was the state of Wisconsin of the US.
