Biden criticizes 'draconian cuts' in Republican budget proposal

Billionaires wind up paying less than 4% in fed income tax while growing their wealth. Raise their taxes, it won't get their fingernails dirty.

[Chryssye]

And my budget proposal is cut republicans' salaries by fifty percent.

Personally, I think the Republicans should have to explain, not only to the American public but to their stockholders for which they serve the reason why they let the stock market fall. Tell the billionaires how they managed to lose trillions of dollars. After that, I think the Republican party will no longer be an issue. There will be no more Republican party. Call their bluff.

Dear MyKevin, Trump increased the national debt by over 30%. This is the biggest debt increase in America's history. This included the huge tax break for the richest Americans as well.

republicans: "Why are we sending money to Ukraine? We should be spending money on Americans here!"
Also republicans: "Why do we need to spend all this money on food stamps and affordable healtcare? CUT IT OUT!"
Again, also republicans: "Why can't we give the 1% a $1.3 trillion tax cut? They deserve it!"
🤔🙄🤣

People might read the 4 th section of the 14 th amendment … of the constitution…the debit ceiling can’t be Frozen .

[patriciaariley]

Is there some rule or law where congress cannot be paid if we default on the debt.

[brotherlonewolf]

Save social security and disability from the GQP fascists! SPREAD THE WORD! Vote blue, and be sure to call, write, or email your representative and demand a constitutional amendment to elect the president by popular vote NOW!

Draconian cuts? How do you cut federal spending? One million dollars at a time! Starting with $3.6M in federal money to help extend DeKalb’s Michelle Obama Trail!

[brentharrington]

We don't have the $$$ to spend. What's so hard to understand. We're bankrupt.

[BFROFFICIAL]

Nothing is built, nothing is back and nothing is better. Thanks for nothing!

[jonid]

What about the billions sent to Ukraine...again. How do I opt out of funding this illegal war
