Talk:Build Back Better Plan

Title
Hi all -- I believe this article would be better served being titled "Build Back Better Agenda" as it is on whitehouse.gov. I'm not sure how to do so, but I think it'd be an improvement. FiveBoroughPolitics (talk) 12:38, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Merge from American Jobs Plan (AJP)
Now that AJP is just an umbrella term to describe the separate Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Build Back Better Act, I believe a merge is in order, especially since the two with "Build Back Better" in the name have confusingly similar titles.

global slogan
I thought this was a global slogan with many world leaders using it. Am I missing something? Or is this an example of wikipedia sometimes excessive US focus? Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 07:03, 29 October 2021 (UTC)


 * It is used more generally. See Build Back Better. UpdateNerd (talk) 08:35, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

This has been said by multiple world leaders. At least: Boris Johnson, Jacina Acern, Prince Charles, Justin Tredaux, Greta Thunberg, and Klaus Schwab. It is an initiative created by the World Economic Forum. None of the Wikipedia pages mention this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.107.208.203 (talk) 03:06, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Attributing the Green New Deal
This is a very small concern, but the article attributes the GND to the Democratic Party. From my understanding, it is mostly an initiative by AOC and Sen Markley, and while it has a lot of support, isn’t even close to a party initiative. Maybe the article should be changed to say something like the “Green New Deal, proposed by progressive elements of the dems”? I’m not American, so maybe I don’t have the best grasp on the nuances of party policy, though. TimeEngineer (talk) 09:39, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Where does Inflation Reduction Act belong?
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is based on negotiations to salvage parts of the Build Back Better Act, which currently is placed under the American Families Plan section of the overall BBB plan article. However, the contents of IRA seem to be more aligned with the American Jobs Plan, as in, some of its elements (like climate) that remained unaddressed after the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The vast majority of the American Families Plan is untouched - the two things I see from it are increased IRS budget for more effective tax enforcement, and extension of the Affordable Care Act healthcare subsidies (which was already part of the American Rescue Plan).

So we have a result where negotiations involving provisions of the Build Back Better Act, a bill that implements the American Families Plan, results in a bill that does more to clean up additional items in the American Jobs Plan. Granted, the Build Back Better Act was originally envisioned as a potpourri bill that tried to collect as much as possible the remainder of the whole BBB agenda - both the American Families Plan and the untapped portions of the American Jobs Act. 2603:8000:B600:4000:CC69:EDC5:4231:8B01 (talk) 05:14, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
