"Republicans have already made clear they're on the side of the 1 Percenters and big corporations by trying to shield rich tax cheats and endangering Social Security and Medicare with deficit-busting tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations," said one expert. "The contrast couldn't be sharper." #BidenBudget #taxtherich

Biden’s 182-page $6.9 trillion budget plan advances a vision of the US based on the idea that the government should invest in workers, families & infrastructure to increase the purchasing power of those on the “demand side” of the economy. The theory of the GOP since the 1980s, is that the government should cut taxes & slash government spending to free up capital for those at the top #BidenBudget #GOPgrifters

March 9, 2023

“Show me your budget,” President Joe Biden is fond of saying, “[and] I’ll tell you what you value.” Today, Biden introduced his 2024 budget at the Finishing Trades Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Biden’s 182-page, $6.9 trillion budget plan advances a vision of the United States based on the idea that the government should invest in workers, families, and infrastructure to increase the purchasing power of those on the “demand side” of the economy. It offers a stark contrast to the theory of the Republicans since the 1980s, that the government should cut taxes and slash government spending to free up capital for those at the top of the economy—on the “supply side”—with the idea they will use that money to invest in new business that will then hire more workers.

Analysis: Why Biden's child programs likely won't go anywhere

U.S. President Joe Biden's <a href="/world/us/biden-challenges-republicans-with-budget-that-raises-taxes-sets-up-2024-run-2023-03-09/">budget proposal</a>, released on Thursday, envisions a dramatic expansion of the federal safety net for children and families. Unlike programs that benefit older Americans, it stands little chance of gaining traction.

This would revert the credit to the more generous version Democrats passed in 2021 during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The plan would also expand the earned income tax credit, a benefit for low-income workers, for individuals who do not have children. #BidenBudget

From yesterday's Wall Street Journal: Biden’s budget plan will “save hundreds of billions of dollars by seeking to lower drug prices, raising some business taxes, cracking down on fraud and cutting spending he sees as wasteful, according to White House officials.” Those officials said that, over the next ten years, the plan would CUT DEFICITS BY CLOSE TO $3 trillion.
