Sweeping proposal underscores sharp political divisions

United States President Joe Biden has recast what has traditionally been considered infrastructure with a $2.3 trillion plan that includes money for jobs programs and caregivers, in addition to bridges and highways.

However, the word "infrastructure" is not included in the sweeping proposal's title.

Called the American Jobs Plan, it also proposes spending billions of dollars on affordable housing, help for schools and labor unions and expanding high-speed internet services, among numerous other priorities.
