'We would approach this community by community. If you talk to somebody about the water in Flint, Michigan, or a bridge in Erie, Pennsylvania, you can personalize it,' said one of the people who has spoken to Biden about infrastructure.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has been actively meeting with his closest advisors about his preferred economic policies, including crafting an infrastructure reform package that could be part of his 2020 campaign if he decides to run for president, CNBC has learned.
"We would approach this community by community. If you talk to somebody about the water in Flint, Michigan, or a bridge in Erie, Pennsylvania, you can personalize it," said one of the people who has spoken to Biden about infrastructure."This is going to be a very important plank in what Joe's going to be advocating," this person added.
Biden has been asking his team to keep an eye what's being proposed by other 2020 contenders and to take note if they are discussing how to go about paying for some of their ideas. Presidential candidates who have come out in favor of a Green New Deal include Sanders and fellow Sens. Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Amy Klobuchar.
While he was vice president under President Barack Obama, he worked with Congress to cut over $1 trillion in federal spending over 10 years. "We have to deal with the tax code. It's wildly skewed toward taking care of those from the very top. It overwhelmingly favors investors over workers and it's ridiculed with unproductive expenditures," he said then. At the University of Pennsylvania in February, he called the tax plan passed by Republicans"God awful."
