President Joe Biden is fond of using a quote from his father to criticize Republicans: “Don’t tell me what you value. Show me your budget and I’ll
tell you what you value.” Late last month, the Biden administration sent its $6 trillion budget plan to Congress for consideration. It’s a pretty good reflection of what he values; trillions of dollars have been set aside for infrastructure, health care, child care, education, and climate change, so the country can “build back better,” as he often puts it.
