President Biden's proposed fiscal year 2023 Pentagon budget includes $813 billion in spending for national defense, a 4% increase of $31 billion from the spending package signed into law earlier this month
The Biden administration's defense budget remains focused on China as the primary strategic challenge, with an emphasis on strengthening European security in light of the threat posed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine."If you look across the board at their capability, their economy, China remains our most challenging strategic threat. That's what the strategy says, that's what the budget says," a senior defense official told reporters ahead of the budget release.
All of those plans are likely face pushback from Congress, which has repeatedly resisted cutbacks that would hurt weapons suppliers based in their districts or bases and shipyards that could shrink if planes and ships are removed.The defense official said that the proposed increased budget wasn't intended to increase the size of the US military, but rather to help modernize it to compete with Russia and China.

President Biden pitches minimum tax on billionaires in new budgetThe White House on Monday proposed imposing a minimum tax on the nation's richest people to challenge the 'indefensibly low tax rates' the wealthy can engineer as Democrats take another swing at a so-called billionaire's tax. In his fiscal 2023 budget proposal, U.S. President Joe Biden proposed a minimum 20% income tax on all households worth over $100 million, which would include unrealized gains on investments that have not yet been sold. The proposal is an effort to tackle what the White House described as a 'glaring' problem: that the current tax code's preferential tax rates for investments allow the nation's wealthiest to have a lower tax rate than middle-class Americans.
