text: Biden pitches multitrillion-dollar infrastructure plan at Senate lunch - Alt News Coin
  WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Joe Biden went to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to make the case for his sweeping, two-track infrastructure initiative, a day after leading Senate Democrats agreed on a $3.5 trillion plan billed as the biggest boost in decades for U.S. families.
  Biden joined fellow Democrats for a closed-door lunch where he was expected to appeal for their support and discuss strategy for passage of both a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal here to rebuild America's roads and bridges, and the larger Democratic here package that also addresses climate change and the need for stronger social services.
  U.S. consumer prices rose by the most in 13 years here in June amid supply constraints and a rebound in the costs of travel-related services from pandemic-depressed levels as the economic recovery gathered momentum, according to data released on Tuesday.
