The debate over President Biden's Fiscal Year 2025 budget is intensifying, with Democrats and Republicans presenting starkly different visions for America's future. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra emphasized the budget's focus on strengthening Medicare "beyond our lifetime" and shifting towards a health system that promotes wellness. Democrats, including Rep. Shri Thanedar and Sen. Debbie Stabenow, argue that the budget aims to lower costs for families, protect vital programs, and reduce the deficit by making the wealthy pay their fair share, with a goal of reducing the deficit by $3 trillion. They highlight investments in the middle class, Social Security, Medicare, and border security. In contrast, Republicans criticize the budget for lacking fiscal responsibility and prioritizing economic freedom. The budget also proposes ending tax breaks for the ultra-rich to invest in American families and cut the deficit, a move supported by Rep. Mike Quigley.
Working families built this country. And by ending tax breaks for private equity funds and the ultra-rich, @POTUS's new budget makes sure we can invest in American families and cut the deficit.
.@POTUS' budget plan for Fiscal Year 2025 invests in working families by: - Lowering costs - Growing the economy - Strengthening Social Security & Medicare - Prioritizing border security I look forward to working with the Administration to deliver on these priorities.
President Biden’s budget builds on the progress Democrats made in America: ––Invests in the middle class ––Makes the wealthy pay their fair share ––Protects and strengthens Social Security and Medicare ––Invests in a secure border
President Biden’s budget is bold, optimistic, and responsible and builds on the progress Democrats made for the American people. It highlights the sharp contrast between Democrats’ positive, proactive vision and the Republicans’ negative, regressive vision for our country. https://t.co/AScXnYkOyY
Protecting Social Security, Medicare, and programs that help those most in need is NON-NEGOTIABLE. I’m proud to stand with @POTUS in his efforts to rebuild our economy and to defend and support the policies that help support American families.
Protecting Social Security & Medicare, making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, and lowering prescription drug costs are all things I’m proud to be fighting for.
It’s long past time that the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share in taxes. @POTUS’ budget cracks down on tax cheats while reducing our deficit by $3 trillion. That’s a win for the American people. https://t.co/OerRZebPuL
At yesterday’s @SenateFinance hearing, I heard from @SecBecerra about @POTUS’s FY2025 Health and Human Services budget. We discussed the importance of working together to address obesity as a public health crisis & extending the Hospital at Home program. https://t.co/fL6NtQeeSX
Anyone who listened to Biden’s State of the Union last week knows he will keep putting America last. Republicans have a plan to put American families first. The contrast is clear! https://t.co/IcF6sMhAo2
The President Biden says “show me your budget, I’ll show you your priorities.” Unlike Biden, in our budget Republicans are prioritizing economic freedom and fiscal responsibility to create a bright future for our children. https://t.co/mfSAuJvvsm
Medicare and Social Security are earned benefits. Working families spend their lives paying into these programs, and they deserve to receive their benefits. I stand strong in support of Medicare and Social Security, no matter how extremists try to threaten these programs.
This week, @POTUS Biden released his 2025 budget, which puts working families first and invests in the middle class. Meanwhile, MAGA Republicans are pushing a budget that’s great for tax dodgers and billion-dollar corporations. The difference couldn’t be clearer. https://t.co/4Dgzjpxq8r
Conservatives are pushing for budget cuts that could raise the cost of living and devastate our economy. @POTUS FY25 budget shows Democrats are fighting to lower costs for families, protect vital programs, AND cut the deficit by making the wealthy finally pay their fair share.

We can’t reduce the health and well-being of Americans to a line on a spreadsheet. But we can transform the numbers on it into investments and services that sustain health and promote wellness for all Americans. Here I outline some highlights of @POTUS’ FY 2025 Budget ⬇️ https://t.co/W2nk7eRlIp
