Excerpt from Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by President Biden on His Plan to Reduce the Deficit While Investing in America, Bringing Down Costs for Families, and Protecting and Strengthening Social Security and Medicare

Let’s be crystal clear about what’s happening. If you add up all the proposals that  my Republican friends in Congress have offered so far, they would add another $3 trillion to the debt over 10 years.  When I introduce my budget in a few weeks, you’ll see that people making less than $400,000 a year will not see a single penny increase in taxes, nor have they for the past 2 years. You’ll see that my budget will invest in America, lower costs and protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, while cutting the deficit by $2 Trillion over 10 years. ### Official news published at https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/02/15/excerpt-from-remarks-as-prepared-for-delivery-by-president-biden-on-his-plan-to-reduce-the-deficit-while-investing-in-america-bringing-down-costs-for-families-and-protecting-and-strengthening-s/

In fact, they claim that reducing the debt is so urgent it warrants endangering the entire U.S. economy through debt limit brinksmanship. But their legislative agenda to date points in a very different direction—with proposals that would increase the debt by over $3 trillion. The first bill passed by the new Republican House majority increased the debt by $114 billion by allowing wealthy people and corporations to continue to cheat on their taxes.  Congressional Republicans proposed repealing—and are even running ads attacking—reforms President Biden signed to lower prescription drug costs. Repealing these…
