After going more than 800 days without releasing a budget, the Senate Budget Committee has leaked a draft of a preliminary budget “blueprint” to the Washington Post.
The plan, which comes loaded with “$2 trillion in new taxes,” claims to cut $2 trillion from the budget without reforming entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. The “framework” would target the “very wealthiest families,” while also planning to cut almost “$900 billion from the Pentagon over the next decade.”
