During a White House press briefing Thursday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki addressed concerns over the massive proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have vowed not to support it by citing massive corporate tax increases. Republicans said this plan is a \u201ctrojan horse,\u201d which is really just a way to raise taxes on the rich. However, Psaki side-stepped those arguments and said both Democrats and Republicans are in favor of rebuilding roads, railways and bridges.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Confronted on small roads\/bridges spending, Jen Psaki concedes Biden&#8217;s bill is not about infrastructure<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9y5sl2ri9P\">https:\/\/t.co\/9y5sl2ri9P<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/garz97OE91\">pic.twitter.com\/garz97OE91<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1377689749385838597?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe administration designed this bill with an effort to meet the moment and to do it in a way that ensures we are looking at addressing challenges in our country through a lens of equity,\u201d Psaki stated. \u201cThat we\u2019re doing it in a way that helps cities and rural America, that we\u2019re doing in a way that meets the moment and meets the moment of the needs for a once in a century investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psaki also argued the project was part of the administration\u2019s plan to be more competitive with China.
