WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden has unveiled his ambitious infrastructure package, which proposes substantial tax increases on U.S. corporations to pay for the $2 trillion price tag. However, experts say the economic harm from an increase in corporate taxes will offset the benefits created by the infrastructure investment, raising skepticism about the plan.

Biden described his proposal as “the largest American jobs investment since World War II” in a speech in Pittsburgh on March 31.
