Biden's $2T spending plan, billed as infrastructure bill, spends less than half on infrastructure
Less than 6% of the proposal goes to roads and bridges, critics say
The White House is casting a very wide net about what constitutes infrastructure — for example, the American Jobs Plan references "care infrastructure" when talking about $25 billion to upgrade child care facilities and a $400 billion expenditure on care for the elderly and disabled. That's quite different from repairing potholes and rebuilding bridges.
