Episode notes
Biden's Budget Messaging
- President Biden's budget is a messaging bill for the election year, not a reflection of actual intentions.
- It includes increased military spending and police funding, but Democrats prefer the issue to the solution.
Contradictory Police Funding
- Biden proposes increased police funding after supporting defunding efforts.
- This contradicts previous actions and ignores the need for enabling police to do their jobs effectively.
Increased Violence Against Police
- Police officers face increased violence and shaming, leading to a 70% rise in officers shot in two years.
- Homicide rates are up nearly 50%, particularly affecting minority communities who want more policing.
