With an eye on history, Biden moves on big, bold and progressive infrastructure package
(CNN)Every day he works from the Oval Office, President Joe Biden stares across from his desk at the portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt he selected to hang above his fireplace.
His aides passed around biographies and historic accounts of the 32nd president before taking over the West Wing, a person familiar with the preparation said.
And Biden consulted a panel of presidential historians in the East Room shortly after taking office, demonstrating what one participant described as a depth of knowledge about not only the architect of the New Deal but another Democrat, Lyndon B. Johnson, whose expansive view of government Biden hopes to emulate.
"It was interesting to hear these historians talk about what other presidents have gone through, and the moments, and who were the people who stepped up to the ball, and who's the people that didn't," Biden said during a CNN town hall last month.
As he travels to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to unveil the next chapter of his massive effort to transform the country though long-sought progressive priorities, Biden is deeply conscious that it is now his moment to step up. He is looking to the bold actions favored by Democrats decades earlier to inform the opening days of his presidency, determined that small steps cannot match the current moment.

It's damned well about time govt invests in our country!
I've literaly broken thousands of dollars in car parts due to horrid roads. Even interstates here are literally like off roading! Largely due to qpuke gov never allocating funds to this area, so I really hope Team Joe gives $ directly to blue cities in red states!
Ty, George!
