The rest would finance healthcare, education, and a vast array of new government handouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite President Biden branding the bill as a twenty-first-century rerun of Franklin Roosevelt\u2019s New Deal, nonpartisan economists at the University of Pennsylvania <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nonpartisan-economists-say-bidens-infrastructure-plan-will-decrease-economic-growth\"><span>agreed<\/span><\/a><span> that the legislation would be economically counterproductive.
