School lunches, IRS agents and HBCUs: The under-the-radar proposals in Biden's budget plan

WASHINGTON — You might have heard about President Joe Biden's plans for subsidized child care, universal pre-kindergarten and extended child tax credits.

The same goes for his proposed $555 billion to address climate change, $150 billion to boost affordable housing and the billions more for home caregiving

Each is among the most expensive and most-discussed components of Biden's package of social services programs he proposed Thursday. But tucked inside the president's new scaled-back $1.85 trillion framework – the House bill is still 1,684 pages despite major cuts – are several lesser-known items. These range from significant funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and high-speed rail, to an emphasis on improved nutrition for school lunches.
