    Biden's new Build Back Better plan invests big in climate and child care.
    The American Independent Institute (Left) • Factual Grade 83% • 3 min read

    The administration called it "the largest effort to combat climate change in American history" and "the largest single investment in our clean energy economy in history." With the $555 billion investment, the White House says the United States would be on track for its goal of a 50%-52% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
    ...
    The revised $1.75 trillion Build Back Better plan also includes a $400 billion investment in affordable child care and two years of free pre-K education. It would make permanent the expanded child tax credit for more than 35 million families. That credit of up to $300 a month per kid — enacted for 2021 as part of Biden's American Rescue Plan — has already lifted an estimated 3 million children out of poverty.
    ...
    Proposals to invest billions more in free community college and paid family and medical leave — and to reduce the costs of prescription drugs through price negotiations — will not be part of this package.

Has the value of a college degree gone down?

567 votes, 117 comments

Context: US college enrollment continues decline even after pandemic peak.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ Yes - More accurately, I would say the ROI on a college degree has gone down as costs have skyrocketed and employers are realizing that other than specialized technical fields, experience and aptitude are much more important than a $100k + piece of paper that only seems to show that you posses three things: intelligence to get accepted, work ethic to finish, and means to pay for it.”


“ No - Yes, its true that many degrees are worthless, tuitions are rising, grade inflation's a thi...”
