Here are the key parts of Democrats’ $3.5T budget resolution
| Senate Democrats on Monday unveiled a $3.5 trillion budget resolution they aim to pass without Republican support, paving the way for boosting spending in a number of key areas in line with the president’s legislative agenda through a process called reconciliation.
Democrats say the massive spending framework would unlock funding for universal pre-K and tuition-free community college, while making investments in public housing and clean energy efforts and expanding healthcare. The budget resolution green-lights funding for those priorities, and lets Democrats pass them later this year in a spending package they’ll be able to advance along party lines — as long as Democrats don’t have defections in the House and Senate. |
