(Newser) – President Biden announced a budget blueprint Monday that calls for higher taxes on the wealthy, lower federal deficits, more money for police, and greater funding for education, public health, and housing. Appearing at the White House with budget director Shalanda Young, Biden said the proposal sends a clear message to the public about «what we value.» He outlined a focus on fiscal responsibility, safety and security, and investments to «build a better America.» The document essentially tries to tell voters what a diverse and at times fractured Democratic Party stands for ahead of midterm elections that could decide whether Congress remains under the party’s control, the AP reports.
