Fox News
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., ripped President Biden's budget proposal, calling the president's proposed $2 trillion in tax hikes "completely unserious."
This year's budget comes as Biden and House Republicans are in a standoff, each waiting for the other to cave before this summer's deadline to raise the debt ceiling passes.

Biden is seeking higher taxes to lower the deficit, which McCarthy has flatly rejected. The president's budget calls for $2 trillion in tax hikes on individuals making more than $400,000 to keep Medicare solvent, as well as a 25% minimum tax on billionaires.
