Chairman Whitehouse Holds Hearing on the President's FY2025 Budget

March 12 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, delivers an opening statement at a Budget hearing entitled, “The President’s Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Proposal.”
Chairman Whitehouse: "As the President is fond of saying, a budget is a statement of values. That message is especially salient this year, as President Biden and MAGA Republicans offer starkly different visions for our country’s future.
On the one hand, President Biden released a fiscally responsible budget that puts the middle class first, cuts the deficit by $3 trillion, and paves the way for a stronger, safer, and more prosperous America.
On the other hand, MAGA House Republicans voted to undo pro-growth investments that are creating jobs, driving a clean energy boom, and lowering costs for households across the country. All while calling to make the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy permanent."

As always, Senator Whitehouse hits the nail right on the head. It’s definitely long past time that the wealthy paid their fair share. Keep up the great work Senator.

Sen Whitehouse is one of few in Congress to report summaries on REAL government issues. His work is outstanding and information is delivered in clear plain complete sentences - refreshing!
