Palmer on Biden Budget: "Reckless, Would Bring Financial Harm"

Washington, D.C. – Today, the Biden Administration released its first budget proposal, which includes record high spending levels of $6 trillion in FY2022. Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-06) released the following statement:

"Biden's budget will dramatically raise taxes, increase inflation, and push America further into debt. It is reckless and will bring more financial harm to American families," Palmer said. "Even the New York Times admits that this budget would take the United States to its highest sustained levels of federal spending since World War II. It would increase our national debt by at least $13 trillion over the next ten years. In addition, Biden's budget undercuts our military funding and includes taxpayer funding for abortion.

Palmer concluded, "In short, this reckless budget proposal will push America closer to a fiscal cliff that will do great harm to our economy and the future well-being of American families."
