This is ALL propaganda.

It is not enough to restore where we were prior to the pandemic

So, MAGA. Okay. Which, incidentally, pre-pandemic would have been the strong economy and record low poverty levels before Biden was forced in.

he knows

This is deliberate. If Biden said "I know", it would have been seen as favorably as some anonymous third party endorsing him.

spark innovation and manufacturing here at home

You don't do that by increasing taxes on businesses and the wealthy. They move their money AND their jobs out of the country. But details, right?

helping families cover the basic expenses

That's their responsibility, not mine.

lowering health insurance premiums

By what, bring back the "I'm a Living American" tax that you had to pay for insurance that crippled health insurance coverage? Insurance is not health care. Insurance is a business. This would force the business to cut corners elsewhere or leave markets altogether (which is what we saw under Obamacare).

Add at least four years of free education

So beyond community college, you're going to hijack private businesses, awesome.

access to high school became more widely available at the turn of the 20th Century, it made us the best-educated and best-prepared nation in the world

No, it did not. It was people who didn't whine about working. They're called "The Greatest Generation" for a reason and it's not because they went to war. It's because they rolled up their sleeves and did something today's generation is afraid of: Hard. Work.

12 years is not enough today

Oh, so government mandated education just isn't enough. But he just said that education was the key and they want to provide more "not enough" education. lulz.

universal, quality-preschool to all three- and four- year-olds

Yeah, no. Preschool doesn't actually accomplish anywhere near as much as parents. Focus on the economy, not the education, and parents can actually educate and be with their children. Then the problems go away. This is not something you can throw money at and expect a quick response. Plus, this standardizes preschool to a government standard that is "not enough."

It will provide Americans two years of free community college.

Community college is already free when you get into grants that are available to just about everyone.

making college more affordable for low- and middle-income students

Get your nose out of the college loan business and this problem goes away. Studies have shown the federal assistance programs actually create racial education divides by incentivizing colleges to invest in students differently according to the programs they offer instead of providing equal access to education that prepares them.

including students at <various minority campuses>

Gotta virtue signal. Tell me, what good does it do little Joey for you to throw money at Shinaque's education when they're both dirt poor? Nothing. Talk about pure racism. So much for real equality. Or what was the word they like to use now? "Equity."

workers struggle to both hold a full-time job and care for themselves and their families

Don't have kids you can't afford then, maybe. It's not rocket surgery.

ensure that low- and middle-income families spend no more than seven percent of their income on child care

So we all have to pay for some little snot nosed punk that the parents can't afford and don't themselves invest in. Great. More kids in crappy schools to create lower income and lower IQ neighborhoods.

the child care they access is of high-quality

So you're saying that the education the government provides now is crappy. You already said that. How are you going to make people smarter by providing more crappy education? You had decades to get it right. Instead, you gave us things like Core Math, something that does not prepare children for the real world because computers don't care how you understand it, they require specific inputs.

The system will also allow people to manage their health and the health of their families

By, what, banning flavored cigarettes? Legalizing marijuana?

provide critical nutrition assistance to families who need it most and expand access to healthy meals to our nation’s students – dramatically reducing childhood hunger.

Already exists. These programs all already exist!

Extend tax cuts for families with children

So a government breeding incentive program.

too many families and workers feel the squeeze of too-low wages and the high costs

Go get a different job. Ask for a raise. Or maybe get a job in a field besides gender studies and art therapy.

meeting their basic needs and their aspirations

So much for working towards your dreams. The government is going to just give it to you now. Next up: Riots over the government not giving them more.

At the same time, the wealthiest Americans continue to get further and further ahead

Because you haven't fixed the tax loopholes that people figure out and exploit. Fix the tax code!

The American Families Plan will extend key tax cuts in the American Rescue Plan that benefit lower- and middle-income workers and families

They already pay nothing or next to nothing? You gonna just give them money now?

Man, I'm done. I'm not going to go through this whole thing because I'd be at it all day.

I'm going to laugh like a maniac when this gets put into motion and gets gutted by executive order by the next president.

You missed one point. The free preschool thing is not about education at all. It's about enforcing all parents needing to work and giving tax payer funded babysitting. Biden previously referred to the situation of massive amounts of women leaving the workforce to be stay at home moms during covid as a horrible pandemic of its own. This is his carrot on a stick to break down families again.
