Listen below:
Tune in weekdays for 10-min daily news roundups:
Billions of dollars will now start rolling out to upgrade roads, bridges, broadband internet, facilities within the supply chain, and more. It’s all part of the bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill Congress passed and President Biden signed into law earlier this week.
But what’s the real-life impact of this deal? When will Americans actually notice a difference? The chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, Mark Zandi, joins me to help break it all down.
He’s also the co-founder of Economy.com, an author, host of the “Inside Economics” podcast, and a trusted adviser to Congress on economic issues. Today he’s helping us all understand the impact of one trillion taxpayer dollars.
