President Biden has unrolled a $1.8 trillion spending plan—called the American Families Plan—for the next decade. 

The Georgia Center for Opportunity’s (GCO) take: “While we support many of the themes that President Biden has included in his plan, such as supporting families, the plan ultimately falls short because it mistakes lasting change as coming from Washington rather than being homegrown in our local communities,” said Randy Hicks, president and CEO of GCO. “What’s more, our fear is that the president’s plan will worsen ingrained generational poverty by expanding, rather than reforming, safety net programs that — no matter how well-intended — often trap people and limit their ability to achieve a better life.”
