The budget proposal would be the latest spending plan offered to Congress in the early months of Biden’s presidency. He has already signed into law a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, and he has already offered the infrastructure plan and the families and jobs plan. What makes this budget different, however, is that it is devoted to the broad financing of government operations. Without a budget deal by October, there would be a partial government shutdown. So this package is expected to kickoff negotiations with lawmakers about how to proceed on everything from military funding to school programs.
