Earlier on the same day, The White House posted on Twitter that Biden administration is creating an average of 500,000 jobs a month. The tweet read, “Our Administration has been working flat-out to recover from COVID-19 and rebuild our economy for the middle class. And it’s paying off. We’re creating an average of 500,000 jobs a month, wages are on the rise, and unemployment claims are down. We’re just getting started.”

The American Families Plan is Biden administration’s most ambitious project which aims to provide universal preschool to all 3 and 4 year olds, as well as two years of free community college.
The plan also aims to ensure that low and middle income families are not bound to pay more than 7 percent of their incomes on things like child care. This step would lead to an entire wipe out of the cost for some of the poorest Americans.
