Pair infrastructure investment with funding for care, climate, and education
Sara Jacobs argues that a deal limited to physical infrastructure could deepen economic inequality. She supports securing a firm commitment to pass a separate bill with funding for childcare, climate, and education programs that were cut from the president’s plan to win moderate Republican support.
Context: The excerpt attributes the inequality warning to Jacobs but describes the demand for a separate bill as a position held by progressive lawmakers; it does not explicitly say she personally made that demand.
