Today, President Biden announced his budget for Fiscal Year 2023, which would impose a new Billionaire Minimum Income Tax on the wealthiest Americans, reduce the deficit by more than $1 trillion over the next decade, advance safety and security at home and around the world, and make the investments needed to build a better America.

| President Biden’s middle class-focused budget comes as Republicans have laid out an agenda of tax hikes and raised premiums. Over the weekend, NRSC Chair and Senator Rick Scott struggled to defend his plan to raise taxes on the poorest Americans and sunset Social Security and Medicare in five years. And Senator Ron Johnson is facing heat at home for saying that Republicans should repeal the Affordable Care Act if they take back power, which could raise premiums and kick millions off of their health insurance. |
