The Biden Administration will release its first budget tomorrow. Here is what the AAF experts are looking for:

• How does it all add up? How does the American Rescue Plan, American Jobs Plan, American Family Plan and other presidential proposals alter the budgetary outlook?
• Is there a strategy to stabilize the debt? The president has been silent on his desired fiscal legacy. What is the goal over the next 4 to 8 years?
• Is the administration forecasting a Goldilocks economy? Will the budget feature rapid growth and low inflation? If so, how will this be reconciled with already-recognizable inflation pressures and the headwinds of trillions of dollars of proposed tax increases?
• What is the climate plan? Climate is advertised as the president’s top priority, but what is the plan? Will the budget outline a comprehensive strategy?
• What is the fate of the president’s campaign proposals on health care? Will the budget contain a proposal for a public option? What does the administration support in reforms of prescription drug pricing?
• Will there be any surprises?

Upon release, AAF’s Director of Fiscal Policy Gordon Gray will break down the budget with an instant analysis.
