Thank you. Host last call for this open it is not going to be an easy vote, its clear that folks on the right wing of the Republican Party are not happy with us. They would like to see much greater cuts to the budget. And the folks in the left of the Democratic Party are not so happy with us, they are not very comfortable with the cuts and some of the other aspects of the plan like the more restrictive work requirements on snap, the food stamp program. But i do think there is enough votes in the middle of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party to come together and get this done. It is not going to be very graceful i suspect over the next few days and it may feel at points that lawmakers may not be able to get across the finish line by that june 5 deadline that you mentioned at the start of the conversation but i think the odds are very high that they do. If i am wrong, then that will be a complete and utter mess. There is lots of scenarios at that point, none of them are any goo

Testimony on capitol hill from the white house budget director, shalanda young. A special welcome to director young, who has had a very busy past few weeks and we look forward to your testimony. The budget is a statement of values that makes clear what we prioritize. President bidens budget would lower costs for households, strengthen medicare and protect Social Security.

I challenge anyone to say that it isnt worthwhile
