President Joe Biden has decided to set aside the usual big White House budget unveiling to showcase his new fiscal year plans this week in Pennsylvania
President Joe Biden delivers remarks to the 2023 International Association of Fire Fighters Legislative Conference, Monday, March 6, 2023, in Washington. WASHINGTON — — With an eye on 2024, Presidentwill showcase his election-year budget plan this week in must-win Pennsylvania rather than the usual White House setting.
“Part of that is making a tax system that's fair. We can make all these improvements and still cut the deficit if we start making people pay a fair share," he said in his remarks to the International Association of Fire Fighters. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has called for putting the country on a path to a balanced budget, while leaving Social Security and Medicare untouched. But McCarthy has kept a poker face on how the GOP could do that. House Republicans have struggled to coalesce behind a budget proposal of their own, and are unlikely to release a blueprint unless and until they have 218 votes for a majority to approve it.
Especially helpful to Republicans, they say, was Biden saying outright of his plans last week that “I’m gonna raise some taxes.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Pennsylvania is very “close to Biden’s heart” and that the president, who was born in Scranton, sees it as a “second home” after Delaware, where he served as a senator.
