I get as tired of reporting on the social menace, that IS Donald Trump, probably even more than you get tired reading about it. SOOOO, as the tagline for Monty Python goes …

So how do we get prosperity for the rest of us? By taxing extreme wealth and investing those revenues in social goods like education, housing, food and health care. President Biden’s recently released federal budget plan follows that blueprint, putting the value of investing in American families and communities ahead of slashing taxes for the rich.
The budget for the fiscal year 2025 would generate about $5.3 trillion in revenues over the next decade. That’s a $388 billion boost compared to last year’s budget — and it all comes from fairer tax policies targeting wealthy individuals and large corporations. Households earning less than $400,000 would see no tax increases, with many seeing reductions.
The proposed budget invests $2.3 trillion towards essential public services for hard-working families while reducing the national debt by almost $3 trillion. That’s a great start toward filling critical investment gaps for families and communities.

That important news goes on to discuss the other ways the Biden Budget would help hard-working Americans. But so as not to violate the 3 paragraph “fair use” rule, I will simply summarize some of those extra “populist benefits” here:
• make home-ownership more affordable
• help reduce homelessness
• strengthen the WIC program
• provide affordable child care, and universal Head Start or preschool -- for free
• restore the expanded Child Tax Credit, which was quite popular during the Pandemic
The Biden Budget would also protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA -- all of which are on the MAGA chopping block. So if you care about stuff like this, click the link and read the article, which is all about Biden’s priorities for the rest of us 90% of Americans. The hard-working folks, who are typically exploited by Republicans, and especially by Dishonest John Trump.
In addition to voting Biden-Harris back into office — we have to give them a democratic Congress too (if we want to keep having “nice stuff”).

And if you just have to get your “Donald The Menace” fix — well I got you covered there too.
Because what we don’t know, definitely CAN indeed hurt us.
That is all, for now ...
