    Biden seeks huge funding increases for education, health care and environmental protection in first budget request to Congress.
    Washington Post (Moderate Left) • Credibility Grade 75% • 8 min read

    Many of the agencies Biden seeks to fund at higher levels are programs that former President Trump had unsuccessfully sought to slash while in the White House. In a further break with Trump, Biden’s plan also calls for keeping military spending mostly flat. Combined, the budget would increase all federal discretionary spending by roughly 8% in 2022.

Yes - Research shows that limiting access to guns does reduce the instances of gun violence including suicides. However it by no means addresses the deeper cultural issues at play that must be tackled in conjunction such as expanding funding for mental healthcare and social emotional learning in schools.


No - No matter what laws you enact, it will never prevent those with criminal intent from obtaining a gun. Criminals can always find ways around the law. Th...
