Biden's budget plan: Higher taxes on rich, lower deficits

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The bottom line: Biden is proposing a total of $5.8 trillion in federal spending in fiscal 2023, which begins in October, slightly less than what was projected to be spent this year before the supplemental spending bill was signed into law this month.
47% : More money would go to support law enforcement, yet bipartisan efforts at police reform have failed.
46% : That proposal from last year included money for child care, preschool, clean energy and lower health care premiums, but it was blocked by Manchin, the decisive Democratic vote.
44% : Why local teachers are leaving, and how they might be convinced to stay Spotsylvania supervisors approve gas station over objections of neighbors Spotsylvania woman charged with murder in baby's death Courtland High School graduate talks about pending lawsuit against Spotsylvania School Board Water park resort chain interested in Spotsylvania site Case against the Spotsylvania School Board will continue Stafford woman, already sentenced to 81 years, facing more prison time Stafford School Board approves redistricting plan, new bell schedule Tractor-trailer crashes on I-95 in Stafford Pedestrian struck, killed in Spotsylvania Stafford man charged following wild shooting incident Sunday morning Colonial Beach man arrested after chase in Spotsylvania Man accused of stealing more than $15,000 from a Spotsylvania business Spotsylvania remains identified; police continue investigation Stafford woman gets 4 years tacked onto 81-year prison sentenceThere would be $795 billion for defense, $915 billion for domestic programs, and the remaining balance would go to mandatory spending such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and net interest on the national debt.
40% : The proposal lists another $1.4 trillion in revenue raised over the next decade through other tax increases that are meant to preserve Biden's pledge to not hike taxes on people earning less than $400,000.
38% : They noted that deficits well in excess of $1 trillion annually would persist, said higher taxes could hurt growth and objected that additional government spending would feed into inflation.
