Wow this is just unreal. More evidence we learned nothing from Covid. This is 1 trillion more than the last normal budget year 2019 pre-pandemic.
Of course Corporate rate increased to 28% and taxes on wealthy raised to 39.6% but then he adds taxes on UNREALIZED GAINS for Billionaires.
Highlights: Increased spending on the Military
Increased spending for Police although this should NOT be in a Federal budget it is a State / Local issue and they got LOADS of money from Covid relief
The usual areas suck up a ton of money Social Security, Medicaire, and interest on our debt.
One area I do agree on would be some regulation to stock buy backs for Executives. More regulation as to how long they have to hold the stock before cashing in. It's no secret that this has been abused by CEO's of public companies.
The rest is a lot of nonsense.
No more subsidies for fossil fuel companies. ( not every oil company is Exxon Mobil_
12 Billion for Climate Financing?? WTF is that?
More like this. It's DOA anyway in Congress.
It predicts that the debt will be 44.8 TRILLION by 2035 I think.
Think about that figure.
