their duties and social norms and inform them of oded basic rights my name is the amount of people homes and i work at speeds of. up. to 2 trillion dollar make over for the u.s. president biden sets out plans for a massive infrastructure spending program partly funded by a corporate tax hike into the detail with our correspondent in new york also coming up a major setback for equal opportunities the coronavirus on demick is still 2 of years of progress tackling the global gender gap and. i'm tired of working from home why not rent a room with a. view start of

a the night guest hotels are now sending their accommodation to offices. has to do even as they say in berlin welcome to the program u.s. president joe biden has set out plans for a 2 trillion dollar program of infrastructure spending he's called it's a once in a generation investment that will create millions of jobs while giving roads utilities and american industry a badly needed upgrade i'm proposing a plan for the nation and reward work not just rewards well the bills of fair are common to give everybody a chance to succeed who's going to create the strongest most resilient innovative economy in the world. of a claim from the u.s. president the plans being compared with his predecessor franklin roosevelt's new deal following the great depression of the 1930 s. but biden's program is also facing tough especially. road builders in the u.s.

will soon have plenty of work to do infrastructure in the world's largest economy is in poor condition across the board. butte roads power or water me and many key industries have long since moved abroad. with his 2 trillion dollars package u.s. president joe biden wants to give the entire country a make over his administration plans on modernizing 32000 kilometers of road while repairing foundations of bridges. half a 1000000 new charging stations will be built to accommodate the ever growing number of electric vehicles biden also wants to bring industries such as chip production back to the united states today computer chips are still mostly produced in asia. the whole project is expected to take 8 years to complete some of the funding will come from

a corporate tax hike from 21 to 28 percent biden supporters folks say the program will create millions of well paid jobs and strengthen america's ability to compete with china. but republicans in the congress are already voicing opposition especially towards the corporate tax increase you know it's biden's predecessor slashed the rates by 14 percentage points to their current level. well let's delve even difference this with our correspondent in new york caught a young this was the best reaction ben said this plan and tax corporate tax hike that comes with it. well i mean we won't see any ribbon cutting projects like the golden gate bridge or the hoover dam but still 2 trillion dollars it's a lot of money and it could be in boom for certain industry you already mentioned simi conductor's if you look back at the early ninety's 37 percent of the global

computer chips were made in the united states now that's down to about 12 percent so you can imagine that those chip companies could profit then some charging stations will be billed tens of thousands in the united states of that could be a pretty good for the overall market we actually also saw those stocks and gaining here in the wednesday session but also if we think about all those bridges and roads and infrastructure in. the building industry overall could also profit and it was interesting to see that the stock market actually toyed around was new records at least for the s. and p. 500 and i find that interesting because if you look back at the trump tax cuts the market was excited so now we're talking about possible takes hikes and still in the stock market basically traits of the upside. in the u.s. for a while he deadline they say things and presidents come and go a lot of them making big promises on infrastructure is a reason to believe that biden is going to be the one to see that.

well that really remains to be seen because it's not only up to congress or to the president to actually get this whole project rolling at all to the plans on the states and i remember a big then when barack obama announced a new infrastructure project so railroads high speed trains for example in florida back then it was the governor of florida who actually did night to accept those projects and the money is so we were really have to wait and see if the states or the several states here in the united states will play along and then clearly also yes to bring this whole package through congress so we will see if that will work out the idea is that if possible joe biden would like to see that pick it should getting through congress by a 4th of july. now
