President Biden's 2024 budget would increase the net investment income tax ON INCOMES OVER $400,000 from 3/8% to 5%, to shore up Medicare for the next 25 years.
The net investment income tax was created as part of the Affordable Care Act.

The budget would reduce the deficit by $3 trillion over the next ten years. It would increase revenue by setting a minimum tax rate on extremely rich people and corporations.
NO taxes are raised on anyone who makes less than $400,000 / year.

When Trump supporters started burning their shoes and throwing their razors away, I thought 🤔 "they're gonna be barefoot with neck beards? Sounds like the Taliban."
Two related stories today, both missing the larger subtext.
First, WaPo notes there is no sign of an oncoming recession: the economy is still strong, and growing.

Second, Fortune tells us consumers are still spending (which is why we have a healthy, growing economy) despite inflation (which is caused by Putin's war, and the recovery from COVID).

The larger context that both stories miss is that BOTH:
fear of recession
AND
fear of inflation
... are way overblown. They're being stoked by media, desperate to create a crisis for President Biden, even where there isn't one, and where he's showing amazing competence.

President Biden is reportedly working on a plan to cancel a significant amount of student debt for low-income or underprivileged people who attended HBCU's or public colleges.
This won't satisfy the rich white kids, but it's what he's promised to do.

By the way, we need a word other than "cancel" for what can be done. The debt doesn't go away; it's not "cancelled"; taxpayers pay it off. This is why it should apply only to lower- or middle-income people, not privileged kids attending expensive private colleges.

Biden's plan (very likely) will only apply to federally-financed loans, not to money lent by private or commercial interests.
There are, by the way, already significant programs designed to relieve loans for economic hardship or because of predatory lenders.
