Remarks by President Biden on Investing in America and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

I’m here today to talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention: the progress we’re making to invest in America — in American workers, in American products — to invest in America.  That’s what we’re doing: bringing work, opportunity, and hope to people and communities all across this country.....We’re making sure every American ... have access to affordable high-speed Internet. High-speed Internet is essential to today’s economy. It’s as essential as electricity was when Franklin Roosevelt was president. Not a joke. That’s why, nearly a century ago, Franklin Roosevelt signed the Rural Electrification Act. He signed it to bring electricity to nearly every home and farm in America because it became essential — an essential part of the economic growth of the country, an essential way to access the modern life. And so is high-speed Internet today. In Wisconsin and Minnesota, we’re investing $2.5 billion — $2.5 billion in high-speed Internet. And we’re going to save more than 600,000 families in these two states up to $30 a month on their Internet bills.
