BIDEN REFUSES TO BACK DOWN ON BUILD BACK BETTER, BELIEVES MOST OF THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS IT
“We shouldn’t be cutting funding for police departments,” 拜登说. “I propose increasing funding. 看, 你懂, we ask cops to do everything, including be psychologists and social workers. Guess what? They need psychologists and social workers. I mean it. Not a joke.”
During his address, Biden touted what he considered to be accomplishments for Americans during his first year in office, telling the mayors that “nothing is gonna do more to ease pressures on families” than the Build Back Better legislation he has proposed.
Touching on aspects of the bill, Biden insisted police departments should “hire other social workers, folks trained in mental health, so they can partner with trusted community leaders like programs the Rescue Plan is funding in Atlanta and Louisville and other cities across the country.”
