Joe Biden has proposed a budget for the nation that many commentators have described simply as a “wish list.”
Members of Congress have said it’s dead on arrival at the Capitol, and none was more clear than Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo.
The proposed Biden budget is pure fantasy & will fortunately never be passed.
Among the ridiculous proposals:
1) Highest personal income tax rate since 1986
2) Highest capital gains rate since 1978
3) $31 billion in new taxes on oil & gasWe need to spend less, not tax more.

“Pure fantasy” she said, with “ridiculous” proposals for income tax, capital gains and new taxes on oil and gas.
But Biden’s budget is good for something, according to reports.
That would be telling what is important to him.
Fox News said his “political priorities” were on display in his budget that “mentions ‘fentyanyl’ twice and ‘queer’ seven times.”
The report said, “The president’s budget mentions ‘equity’ 63 times in the document while ‘fentanyl’ — the synthetic opioid destroying American communities — was only mentioned twice. … The mentions of ‘equity’ vary in scope in the document, ranging from ‘racial equity’ to equity for veterans and in health care.”

Biden’s own document states, “On his first day in office, the president signed a sweeping executive order directing the entire federal government to advance an ambitious equity and racial justice agenda – not as a one-year project, but as part of a sustained commitment to make the promise of America real for every American.”
Biden continues, “Since then, the administration has made significant progress advancing equity across the federal government, including by releasing a second executive order that strengthens its ability to create opportunities for communities and populations that have been historically underserved, and continues to build an America in which all can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential.”
“Queer” was there seven times, “transgender” eight and more.
The budget itself would spend $6.8 trillion and raise $5.5 trillion in new taxes from Americans over coming years.
The Washington Examiner said, “Democrats have argued in recent years that equity, or the equality of outcomes, cannot be gained through unequal opportunities. Republicans, on the other hand, have expressed concern that such equity only exists through the enforcement of unequal treatment.”
The spending plans wants $3 billion “to advance gender equity.”
The Daily Mail noted that Biden’s plan was “light on initiatives for dealing with the drug crisis … but heavy on gender politics.”
The report continued, regarding Biden’s plan, “It has largely replaced the word ‘equality’ in progressive circles. Equality means offering everyone the same opportunity, while equity means ensuring everyone achieves the same outcome.
“Supporters say equity helps eliminate unfair barriers which make it harder for some to achieve their full potential. Critics say it often involves unfair bias against certain groups deemed as successful, and that equal outcomes are often achieved artificially, by lowering overall standards. ”
EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
