President Joe Biden's budget plan involves hiking taxes, increasing federal spending, and maintaining high budget deficits, all under the guise of fiscal restraint. The plan includes borrowing significant amounts of money over the next decade, with little actual reduction in debt. Critics argue that the level of borrowing proposed is unprecedented and unsustainable, especially given the current economic conditions.
