It seeks to \u201cadvance equity\u201d in dozens of government agencies, like by appropriating $48 million for a \u201cmore equitable National Park System.\u201d Similarly, the budget would appropriate $2.6 billion to the Department of State to \u201cadvance gender equity,\u201d and $1.5 billion to the Environmental Protection Agency to \u201cadvance racial equity, and secure environmental justice for communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s budget aims to embed \u201cequity as a priority across the Federal Government\u201d in a systematic fashion to address \u201cbarriers to opportunity\u201d for Americans. \u201cWhen the President took office, the United States was confronting overlapping crises of unprecedented scope and scale: a once-in-a-century pandemic; a sharp economic downturn; an accelerating climate crisis; and a legacy of persistent inequity,\u201d the proposal states.<\/p>\n<p>Clocking in at 158 pages, the budget <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/28\/us\/politics\/biden-budget-politics.html\">has<\/a> been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/03\/28\/biden-budget-joe-manchin-00021140\">described<\/a> by left-leaning outlets as \u201ccenter-leaning\u201d and a \u201cpeace offering.\u201d Republicans have argued against this sentiment, like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who called the proposal \u201cas unserious as it is blind to the issues facing everyday Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to The Daily Wire, Texas Republican Rep. Pete Sessions said Biden is continuing in the path of other Democrat presidents in pushing an agenda aimed at expanding the size of government for unpopular agendas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe language is very similar\u201d to the agenda by former President Barack Obama, Sessions said in an interview. \u201cIt is the language that America unilaterally rejects and will reject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire reported on Tuesday, the budget <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-budget-earmarks-billions-to-defeat-climate-crisis-abroad-as-gas-prices-soar\">notably<\/a> earmarks more than $11 billion for climate spending in other countries. In total, the White House is calling for $44.9 billion to be allocated toward tackling the \u201cclimate crisis,\u201d which would be a $16.7 billion increase from 2021 climate spending.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal comes amid 40-year high inflation that Americans are particularly concerned about. According to a Gallup <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/391220\/inflation-dominates-americans-economic-concerns-march.aspx\">poll<\/a> released this week, roughly one in five citizens say the high cost of living and inflation, as well as fuel prices, are the \u201cmost important problem facing the U.S. today.\u201d Economists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-03-29\/u-s-households-face-5-200-inflation-tax-this-year-chart\">wrote<\/a> in Bloomberg News on Tuesday that average U.S. households will spend $5,200 more this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLonger term, current mentions of inflation as the nation\u2019s most important problem are the highest Gallup has recorded since 1985,\u201d Gallup said. \u201cStill, they are well below the extraordinarily high percentages, reaching 52%, found in the early 1980s, when inflation was still elevated after a period of \u2018stagflation\u2019 in the 1970s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In terms of equity, Biden\u2019s proposal also allocates $20 million to the Department of Transportation \u201cto promote equity and inclusion\u201d and derail against \u201cthe effects of structural obstacles to building wealth.\u201d There is also roughly $400 million earmarked for federal science and technology programs so they can make \u201cuse of scientific and technological innovation to advance equitable outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-j7qwjs\">\n<div id=\"post-body-text\">\n<div class=\"e1nzmkc90 css-1s0j25g\">\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
