“President Biden just presented his budget to Congress, and this is completely frivolous.
It offers trillions of new taxes that you and your family will pay directly or through higher spending.
Mr President, Washington has a spending problem, not a revenue problem,” he tweeted.
Biden's proposed budget will have to be approved in both houses of Congress, with the House of Representatives controlled by Republicans led by McCarthy.
On March 9, the Biden administration requested $842 billion in military spending for fiscal year 2024, up 3.2% from 2023.
The draft budget contains the allocation of money to get ahead of China in global competition and continued support for Ukraine.
In particular, the White House asked for $753 million to "counter Russian influence" in Ukraine and $400 million for a "China containment" fund.
