On a tangent, something I found interesting is the New Deal was only the


equivalent of $1.6 tril adjusted for population growth and inflation, to put the scope of this one in perspective. I'm personally in favor of at least the broad proposal here, think Obama should have done a lot more a decade+ ago and not doing so made for a slower and more uneven recovery than necessary, but it was politically difficult and they went for Obamacare (also overdue imo.)

I think the most of this qualifies as 'infrastructure' for any normal person, not the "$400 billion to expand home care services and provide additional support for care workers” for sure but pretty much the rest.
