The federal budget is always a hot topic in election years. How can we build a budget that address our deficit problem while funding the things we need? PPI's Ben Ritz and Laura Duffy join the podcast to discuss their new proposed budget. They discuss how they'd stabilize runaway costs for Social Security and Medicare, how to pay for programs like the Child Tax Credit and Paid Family Leave without breaking the bank, as well as how the budget can impact housing, immigration, trade and much more!
