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
