“Today’s budget, which includes the American Jobs and Families Plans, makes the necessary
investments in both our infrastructure and our people to ensure the post-pandemic chapter
of our history is a strong and prosperous one. Importantly, too, this budget puts our country
on a long-term fiscally sustainable path through fair and e icient tax reform.”
– Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen
WASHINGTON – Today, President Biden released his first Budget which makes historic
investments that will help the nation recover from the pandemic and lay the foundation for
shared growth and prosperity for the future. The FY2022 Budget proposes essential
investments to prioritize infrastructure, clean energy, and research and development,
providing a strong foundation for American job creation.
Under President Biden, America has started to recover from the pandemic. The economy is
growing and creating jobs, unemployment claims have dropped, schools are reopening, and
more than half of American adults are fully vaccinated. The proposed Budget includes
proposals like the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan that will move the
country past where it was pre-pandemic and rebuild a new American economy that invests
in the potential of every American and makes it easier for families to enter and stay in the
middle class.
The Budget provides a fiscally responsible path for delivering a stronger, more prosperous
economy. New public investments are coupled with additional revenue measures that ask
the highest income Americans and large corporations to pay their fair share and that make
our tax system more e icient and equitable. The measures do not increase taxes on anyone
making less than $400,000. Under the Budget’s proposals, the real cost of Federal debt
payments will remain well below historical levels throughout the coming decade.
Alongside the Budget, today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released a key document
that explains the Administration’s revenue proposals included in the Budget – the General
