at first glance, it seemed a bit odd that the biden administration separated its economic agenda into two different bills. the first of these huge pieces of legislation was the american jobs plan, a $2tn infrastructure bill that would fix roads and bridges but also invest in clean drinking water and high-speed internet access. the second of the bills, unveiled on wednesday, is the american families plan, a $1.8tn investment in education, paid leave and childcare.
乍一看，拜登政府将其经济议程分红两个不一样的法案如同有些新鲜。这些巨大法令法规中
的第一个是美国作业方案，这是一项2万亿美元的基础设备法案，将批改路路和桥梁，而且将出资清洗饮用水和高速互联网的接入。周三发布的第二项法案是美国家庭方案，该方案在教育、带薪休假和儿童保育方面出资1.8万亿美元。

the bills are both framed as long-term, forward-thinking investments addressing a decades-long negligence in federal spending, and they’re both being pitched as tickets to greater american prosperity. “jobs, jobs, jobs,” biden repeated in his address to a joint session of congress on wednesday night, touting the legislation. and yet the division of the biden economic project into two different spheres belied the interdependence of the issues the bills try to address – physical infrastructure on the one hand, care services on the other.
这两项法案都被拟定为长时刻的、前瞻性的出资，以处置联邦开支数十年来的差错，它们都被标榜为美国走向愈加昌盛的门票。“作业、作业、作业，”拜登周三晚上在国会参众两院联席会议上重申，并对该法案大加欣赏。可是，把拜登经济项目分红两个不一样的领域，掩盖了这些法案企图处置的疑问之间的彼此依靠性——一方面是实体基础设备，另一方面是医疗维护效能。

indeed, the most controversial element of the american jobs plan is its $400bn investment in home healthcare, a traditionally feminized form of labor that the biden administration has classified as infrastructure – much to the chagrin of the right.
实际上，美国作业方案中最具争议的有些是对家庭医疗保健的4000亿美元出资，这是一种传统上女人化的劳作方法，拜登政府将其归类为基础设备——这让右翼非常沮丧。
