Washington, Oct 4 (EFE) .- US Vice President Kamala Harris visited a Cuban restaurant in Washington on Monday to highlight the importance of small businesses in the economy and defend the infrastructure reforms and social spending that she wants approve your government.
Days after receiving Daniella Senior, an immigrant of Dominican origin who runs several gastronomic establishments in the US capital and its surroundings, at the White House, Harris wanted to visit one of those restaurants to “learn more about her business,” according to the office of the vice president.
Harris drove to Colada Shop, a turquoise-blue painted Cuban restaurant located in the popular entertainment area The Wharf, and ordered a full menu: three empanadas – one picadillo, one chicken, and one leek and carrot – a mince pie and a coffee with milk and ice.
“The work that Daniella does here and that of her other businesses is a perfect example of why the two economic bills” promoted by the White House are so important, said the vice president.
After speaking with several Colada Shop employees, Harris explained that it is critical for them to “have access to affordable childcare,” at a time when at least 2.5 million women “have left the workforce” during the pandemic. due in part to that reason.
In addition, he stressed that “access to capital” should be increased for small businesses run by women and minorities, and public transportation systems should be improved to “allow customers to get” to these restaurants and venues.
Senior, also founder of the local Serenata & Zumo, was one of five small business owners from the Washington metropolitan area who visited the White House last Wednesday to talk with Harris about the needs of their companies.
The visit came at a time of tension between the progressive and moderate wings of the Democratic Party over the size of the infrastructure plan proposed by President Joe Biden, worth $ 1.2 trillion, and the social spending plan, valued by now at 3.5 trillion.
This second plan would allow that, once the first decade of investments under the plan has passed, all Americans are guaranteed a twelve-week paid leave for maternity and paternity, as well as for illness or the care of a family member.
In addition, Biden’s plan extends the free public education system by four years, which currently runs from the beginning of elementary school at age 5 to the end of high school at age 18.
