Joe Biden submitted his proposed budget this week, a document that he has said reflects the things he cares about the most. If that’s true, you have no place in Joe Biden’s heart.
Leaders in the House of Representatives have declared the document, which would spend an unprecedented $87 trillion over 10 years, dead on arrival. The Wall Street Journal called the document “a budget fantasy.” But whatever world Joe Biden lives in, it’s one that hates the men who fought for their country, families who work hard, and pay the nation’s bills.
The proposed budget redistributes money away from veterans and law-abiding gun owners to Democratic voters.
Joe Biden puts America’s veterans on the chopping block so he can fund Democratic voting blocs.
Biden will cut the budget, and reduce the number of people who work for,the fighting men and women injured in the wars he supported. While other agencies will add lots of bureaucrats, several VA facilities have paused hiring or prepared to fire people. “In fiscal 2025, VA anticipates actually shedding about 10,000 employees,” reports GovExec.com. “Most of the losses will come from the Veterans Health Administration, though the Veterans Benefits Administration is proposing it lose 4% of its workforce.”
Biden will cut the VA’s budget, even “though its workload is increasing as its implements the PACT Act,” a bill he bragged about during his State of the Union address.
Biden isn’t just cutting the budget of ex-soldiers. The Defense Department is going to see lean days.
Biden only budgeted a one percent increase to national defense spending: $895 billion, some of which goes to other departments. The DoD actually sees an inflation-adjusted cut, to $840 billion.
Meanwhile, non-defense discretionary spending goes up by an extra 30 percent.
Who’s cashing in from Biden’s budget? Democratic voters.
Biden plans to expand the “American Climate Corps”—a group of climate change activists who promote their left-wing ideology at taxpayers’ expense—from 20,000 people to 50,000 by 2031.
“They are building an extralegal political machine with your tax dollars. The taxpayer-peasants will pay for it,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
He also plans to hire more people to grab your firearms. Hes already increased the number people working for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms by 30% since he took office—and they’re about to get another raise. All the new ATF spending will go toward investigating gun owners.
They’re not the only feds who will be snooping into your life. Biden’s signature law, the Inflation Reduction Act, spent $20 billion for the IRS to hire more auditors. House Republicans deep-sixed the auditors last year; now Joe Biden wants it back. The IRS was slated to cut 1,700 positions, but Biden’s budget will end up padding the IRS by a total of 7,700 jobs.
Over 10 years, Biden will make you spend $104 billion—which will make those new auditors permanent.
These auditors aren’t going to focus on the top earners; they have actually focused more on middle-class workers who can’t afford tax attorneys to defend them.
That’s just the tip of a very large, expensive iceberg.
They’ll need lots of money for Biden’s plans. His budget would collect more than $70 trillion in taxes over the next decade, for funding his left-wing priorities.
In fact, “the sprawling proposal calls for more support for a wide array of agencies and services key to Democratic priorities, including increases to the maximum Pell Grant award and the housing voucher program,” looser “immigration courts, and Democratic wish list items such as a proposal for a new program guaranteeing” taxpayer-funded daycare “for families with annual incomes below $200,000,” reported The Hill.
Luckily, conservatives have show Biden’s budget is going absolutely nowhere. “The price tag of President Biden’s proposed budget is yet another glaring reminder of this Administration’s insatiable appetite for reckless spending and the Democrats’ disregard for fiscal responsibility,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., in a joint statement with the House leadership team.
“Biden’s budget doesn’t just miss the mark — it is a roadmap to accelerate America’s decline.”

“Don’t tell me what you value, show me your budget,” said Biden.

Now we know what Joe Biden and his administration really value — and it isn’t your sacrifices, your wellbeing, or your freedom.
It’s your cash.
