| 摘要： | President Joe Biden called on Congress to invest an additional $17 billion in inland waterways, coastal ports, land ports of entry and ferries as part of a "big" and "bold" $2 trillion-plus, eight-year infrastructure and jobs package. "This includes a Healthy Ports program to mitigate the cumulative impacts of air pollution on neighborhoods near ports, often communities of color," stated a fact sheet released by the White House in advance of the president's much-anticipated announcement in Pittsburgh, Pa. "These investments will position the United States as a global leader in clean freight and aviation." In his speech, the president singled out bottlenecks at ports as a problem his package would address. "Our ports and waterways need repair and reimagination," the fact sheet stated. To pay for his historic plan, Biden proposed increasing the corporate tax rate to 28 percent, beefing up the Global Minimum Tax on multinational corporations and raising the rate to 21 percent, denying deductions for offshoring jobs, crediting expenses for onshoring them and ramping up IRS enforcement on corporations. |
