Joe Biden rolls out $775 billion plan to hire 3 million caregivers for children and the elderly to give coronavirus-strapped American families relief

Joe Biden is rolling out the third part of his plan that makes use of the coronavirus pandemic to retool the economy - this time giving a boost to caregivers. 

Biden will speak Tuesday afternoon in New Castle, Delaware and roll out a $775 billion plan spent to create 3 million new caregiver jobs, with the aim of making childcare cheaper and keeping elderly or disabled family members at or closer to home.   

'Joe Biden has taken care of aging parents, and he's been a single parent. Biden knows how hard it is to raise a family and to take care of a sick family member,' a Biden campaign press release said. 'And, he knows how hard it is for millions of Americans who are just trying to make ends meet.'

Joe Biden is set to roll out a plan Tuesday focused on producing 3 million more caregiver jobs to help American families with childcare and keeping elderly or disabled family members at or close to home 

The plan spends the money over a decade and is paid for by rolling back tax breaks for real estate investors with incomes over $400,000, the campaign said. 

It also steps up compliance for high-income earners.    

Biden has spent the last few weeks debuting policies in an effort to excite voters, as opposed to just benefiting from being the anti-Trump. 

Last week he focused on how he could rebuild the post-coronavirus economy in a green way, debuting a $2 trillion plan. 

The week before he unveiled a $700 billion plan that would push the government to buy American-made good, among other things. 

Under the proposal, Biden vows to provide for the estimated 800,000 people waiting for home and community services under Medicaid. 

He wants to expand alternatives to institutional care for all older Americans while helping veterans by filling tens of thousands of vacancies at Veterans Affairs facilities around the country. 

He also pledges to train and hire 150,000 new community health workers in underserved communities, and 35,000 more to combat the opioid crisis besides creating a 100,000-member public health job corps.

The Biden campaign noted that the coronavirus is forcing schools to close and has left many parents desperately juggling full-time jobs and child care, but its plan argues that 'even before the pandemic, millions of parents struggled to find a space for their child in a quality care and educational setting, keeping parents - primarily mothers - out of the workforce.'

Biden says he can fix that with a joint federal-state universal prekindergarten program while also offering low-income and middle-class families an up to $8,000 tax credit to help pay for child care. 

He plans to offer pay increases to child caregivers and early educators and bonuses to child care providers working during nontraditional hours, while expanding families' access to after-school, weekend and summer care.

Biden also plans to increase the number of child care facilities around the country by offering tax credits for and direct federal funding to businesses willing to build them.
