A new day has dawned on Capitol Hill. It’s a day without budget restrictions after the constraints on spending negotiated in the 2011 budget deal expired.
And Joe Biden isn’t waiting a minute to take advantage of his newfound spending freedom.
Biden has proposed a $1.5 trillion in domestic spending that will run until the end of the fiscal year on September 30. There’s a lot in there for every major Democratic interest group.
For the teachers, a 41 percent increase in the budget for the Department of Education to over $100 billion. For public health, a 23 percent increase in the Department of Health and Human Services, along with the creation of a brand new agency: the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, focused initially on innovative research into cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease.
The budget envisions nearly $69 billion in federal money towards addressing public housing, a 15 percent increase from the amounts enacted in 2021, to help low-income families obtain access to affordable living accommodations. And the Biden administration hopes to sets aside a total of $14 billion in new sums across government to protect the environment, including new efforts to reduce carbon emissions and research clean-energy technology.
“Together, America has a chance not simply to go back to the way things were before the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn struck, but to begin building a better, stronger, more secure, more inclusive America,” the White House’s acting budget chief, Shalanda Young, said in a letter accompanying the blueprint Friday.
Meanwhile, although the lid is also off military spending, there will only be a 2 percent increase in defense spending and an 0.2 percent increase for Homeland Security. Overall, discretionary spending will rise 8 percent.

I don’t believe that Biden possesses the cognitive ability to ‘propose’ anything - unless it’s the Ice Cream Flavor of the day.
He reads stuff off of teleprompters and cue cards.
The real question is: who is writing those cues?
You don’t need any but a small increase in Homeland Security when you deliberately leave the borders wide open. What’s the point?
He knows exactly what he is doing. He is on the road to the New World Order . . just like he said he wanted in 2013.
16% for vote buying, paid by persons who saved their money, as a redistribution.
The Defense Dept is too busy calling white males terrorists to be concerned about war fighting.
To add to that point, why do we have 2 massive federal agencies to protect the Homeland? Why do we need the FBI and DHS?
Realizing that DHS is actually composed of multiple entities, it also has its own agents and investigators, when all it was supposed to be was a clearinghouse to de-conflict investigations if they were being done by different agencies.
Time to get rid of one of them.
But the Dem’s and the Left need their Gestapo, so I guess the Feebies will be around for a little while longer.
0biden can decrease the budgets of all the Federal law dog agencies AFAIC.
Start with their guns and ammo. Show us you really mean that gun control chit.
The US is not supposed to be a recreation of East Germany.
