On April 30 and May 1, 2024, multiple U.S. House committees held hearings to discuss the Fiscal Year 2025 budget requests across various departments. Key testimonies included Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen discussing President Biden's controversial tax plans, which purportedly include a $5 trillion tax hike and potential tax increases for working Americans, despite earlier promises. Yellen also expressed concerns about the U.S. deficit and addressed allegations of retaliation against IRS whistleblowers. Other significant hearings involved the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation, and the Department of Defense, with discussions focusing on issues ranging from energy policies to the funding needs of the U.S. National Guard and Reserve troops. The hearings were part of a broader effort by the House Appropriations Committee to hold 13 hearings on the fiscal year's budget.
