Ranking Member Scott Statement on the President’s Budget

Statement

“President Biden’s proposed budget details the Administration’s vision on how we can continue to build an America where everyone can succeed. The budget proposal calls for transformational investments that would grow our economy from the bottom up and the middle out, and lower costs for students, workers, and families.

The President’s budget proposal draws a sharp contrast with Republicans – who are determined to slash the critical programs that Americans rely on, such as Medicare and Social Security. Moreover, their proposal would increase the deficit by trillions of dollars and includes attempts to repeal parts of the Inflation Reduction Actthat take on special interests and large corporations.

I commend the Biden-Harris Administration for proposing historic investments, within a fiscally responsible budget, to strengthen our economy and respond to the real issues facing students, workers, and families. I will continue working with my colleagues to deliver on the Administration’s vision for an America in which everyone can succeed.”
