Today we're talking about Biden's budget proposal, peace talks between Russia and Ukraine,

COVID's come back in Europe and China, and other top news for Wednesday, March 30th.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pour over.

Here's the quote of the day, all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great

difficulties, and both must be enterprise and overcome with answerable courage, really

in Bradford.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

President Biden hopes to raise taxes on the ultra wealthy, this is defined as households

worth $100 million or more, and corporations, and he has big plans for the extra cash.

The White House's 2023 budget proposal includes increases to defense spending, police spending,

green initiatives, and support for families impacted by inflation.

All that and it promises to reduce the federal deficit by $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

The proposal serves as a starting point for Congress, and it's being battered by both sides.

Republicans say the increase in defense spending is too small, while Democrats say it's

too big.

And Joe Manchin, the Democrat from West Virginia, always a key vote in the Senate, doesn't

like the method the White House suggests for raising taxes on the yacht owning class.

Here's a verse to consider when you catch yourself imagining billions and billions of dollars.

Don't store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where

thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys,

and where thieves don't break in and steal.
