Manufacturing Panel: “Build Back Better” Through Infrastructure, Trade Policy
Written by Sandy Williams
Panelists in a webinar presented by the Alliance for American Manufacturing on Wednesday said an infrastructure bill and sensible trade policy should be top priorities for the new administration. Entitled “How Can President-Elect Joe Biden Build Back Better,” panel members discussed what the Biden administration will need to do to rebuild the economy.
Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) said an infrastructure bill has bipartisan support, but how to pay for it is the sticking point for passage. An infrastructure bill is not just a “nice” thing to do, but “needs” to be done to repair crumbling infrastructure and boost the economy through job creation, he said. He expressed confidence that a resolution between parties can be achieved.
