Biden's Pretend Budget a Political Document With an Eye on 2024

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Biden's fiscal 2024 proposal would also fund a federal-state partnership aimed at expanding free preschool, provide national paid leave and invest $500 million in a new grant program aimed at providing free community college.
54% :Biden's plan doesn't offer a similar fix for Social Security, noting that the administration "looks forward to working with the Congress" to ensure "that high-income individuals pay their fair share," ostensibly by expanding payroll taxes on the wealthy, although Biden hasn't officially embraced that idea.
50% : What about Social Security?
44% : GOP House members have yet to offer their own budget for examination largely because they've been trapped by their own contradictory ideas not to cut Social Security and Medicare while, at the same time, balancing the budget in 10 years.
35% : As a blueprint for government spending, it's a joke.
20% : The most controversial item in the budget is Biden's plan to "save" Medicare by -- you guessed it -- raising taxes.
10% : By forcing Republicans to be the responsible party and get Biden's massive spending under control without raising taxes, Biden has rolled out the welcome mat offering to make Republicans take the role of the bad guy.
