Biden Fights for Woke and Big Labor Interests in FY 2024 Budget Proposal
March 9, 2023
Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement regarding President Biden’s FY 2024 budget proposal:
“President Biden’s budget is a fiscal disaster that will dig our nation further into unsurmountable debt. The President is once again calling for reckless spending for the Department of Labor, Department of Education, and the Department of Health and Human Services, indicating that he has no interest in reining in these agencies or making them accountable to America’s students, workers, and taxpayers.
“The Department of Education’s budget includes half a trillion in additional debt from unauthorized spending for the President’s radical student loan agenda, $120 billion in mandatory dollars for his free college fantasy, and an additional $90 billion in discretionary funding—$100 million of which calls for community grants ‘to promote racial and socioeconomic diversity in their schools.’ Students fell behind during the pandemic because of prolonged school closures, yet this administration is peddling woke politics and more of the same bloated policies that hurt students’ academic growth.
