President Biden’s 2025 Budget Proposal: A Preview of Potential Changes Post-Election
Biden’s Ambitious Budget Plan $1.9 Trillion for Programs, $3 Trillion Deficit Reduction
The 2025 fiscal year budget proposal President Biden and the Democrats achieve enough victories in the November elections and presents a possible future with significant changes. Currently, the budget is unlikely to pass through the existing House and Senate. It envisions reducing deficits by $3 trillion over a decade and raising $4.9 trillion in tax revenues. Approximately $1.9 trillion is allocated for various programs, with the remaining funds directed towards deficit reduction. The budget aims to tackle key issues like lowering healthcare costs, offering tax breaks to families, and implementing higher taxes on the affluent and corporations.
The budget proposal has faced criticism from Republican leaders who view it as an example of excessive government spending. House Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP leaders condemned the proposal and labeling it a roadmap to accelerate America’s decline and highlighting concerns about its impact on deficits and national debt.
