Budget season preview
CQ Budget, Ep. 201
Lawmakers are bracing for a hectic few months, with President Joe Biden’s budget request expected by Memorial Day, House committee markups in June, and a potential reconciliation bill for Biden’s infrastructure, education and child care plans. CQ Roll Call’s David Lerman and Peter Cohn discuss everything coming down the pike over the next few months.
Show Notes:

- GOP’s earmark schism evident in ‘earmark’ disclosures
- Biden goes even bigger on spending
- Huge Treasury cash pile might delay debt limit ‘drop dead’ date
- Democrats’ constituents would bear the brunt of Biden’s taxes
