 Joe Biden just released his $7.7 trillion mega budget for 2025. Here's just a few inconvenient facts about this plan:

- It includes an unbelievable $5.5 trillion in new taxes over just 10 years. 

- Economists are calling this “the highest peacetime [tax] burden in American history” and “the highest sustained income tax burden in American history as a share of the economy.”

- The Office of Management and Budget estimates the plan would make the national debt surge to $45.1 trillion by 2034.
