Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : CBP would receive $15.3 billion under the new budget.
65% : The words "clean energy" appear 56 times in the budget proposal, with Biden proposing $65 billion to "accelerate our transition to a zero-emission economy" through investments in new green energy technology, among many other climate-related initiatives.
63% : Biden's budget proposal focuses on clean energy and climate programs and puts forward little in the way of strengthening traditional domestic energy production.
57% : Biden asked Congress to boost federal law enforcement funding by $1.7 billion over fiscal year 2021 levels -- including investments in gun trafficking units and other Justice Department law enforcement operations.
55% :ANTI-ABORTION MOVEMENT TAKES A HIT
55% : The requested boost in military spending ruffled some feathers on the Left.
50% : Despite presiding over historic levels of illegal immigration since 2021, the Biden administration proposed cuts to U.S. Customs and Border Protection's budget.
36% : Former President Donald Trump's rule change had forced Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers out of the Title X program, which conservatives considered a victory.
34% : Much of the requested increase in DHS funding would go toward matters other than border security, such as natural disaster recovery resources and a pay bump for airport security workers.
33% :INCREASED DEFENSE SPENDINGBiden's budget proposal cited the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a reason for such a high figure for defense funding -- requesting $773 billion for the Pentagon's budget in 2023.
31% :REFUNDING THE POLICELikely in response to criticism of Democrats' "defund the police" rhetoric, from which Biden has attempted to distance his party, the budget proposal requests an increase in funding for federal and local law enforcement.
