Among President Joe Biden's requests in his newly released 2025 fiscal year budget are calls for strengthening and protecting Medicare and Social Security, moves previewed in his State of the Union address last week and ones that help to kick off his re-election campaign.
The $7.3 trillion budget proposal, issued today (March 11), covers a broad range of priorities in key areas including healthcare, child care and education, and includes calls for expanding benefits under Biden's landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022.
