Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The proposal calls for $3.2 billion in "discretionary resources for state and local grants" for communities to hire more police officers, and an additional $30 billion in "mandatory resources to support law enforcement, crime prevention and community violence intervention.""Stepping back, what this budget shows is that we can grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out and invest in the American people, and that we can do it in a smart fiscally responsible way," Shalanda Young, director of the Office of Management and Budget told reporters in a call on Monday morning.
49% : In order to make those investments and reduce the deficit, the budget calls for a new "minimum tax on billionaires" -- which includes more than just billionaires, and applies to anyone worth more than $100 million -- that would ensure the wealthiest 0.01 percent of households pay at least "20 percent of their total income in federal income taxes."
48% :"Here at home it includes critical investments to keep our communities safe, funds crime prevention and community violence intervention, put more cops on the beat for community policing, fight gun violence and advance criminal justice reform," she said.
