Biden's $5 trillion tax blowout still leaves soaring red ink

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : In reality, his budget proposes the largest tax increase in modern history, plows much of the new savings into more new spending and leaves Social Security on its path to insolvency.
52% :Simply paying the interest on the national debt would cost taxpayers $10 trillion over the decade -- more than any program besides Social Security and Medicare.
52% : Speaking of Social Security and Medicare, Biden has portrayed himself as the defender of these programs even as their costs soar unsustainably.
44% : By refusing to offer any Social Security reforms, Biden is essentially endorsing the automatic 20% benefit cut scheduled in just over a decade.
43% :Start with taxes.
43% : Yet the president would raise taxes by an additional $5 trillion over the decade -- the largest tax hike since the 1960s.
41% :More taxes, more spending, $17 trillion in red ink and Social Security insolvency do not represent a serious or responsible proposal.
