San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on President Biden’s FY22 discretionary budget request:

“President Biden’s strong budget request honors this truth: our federal budget should be a statement of our national values and must reflect America’s priorities.  The Biden Administration budget ensures that we not only recover from this pandemic and economic crisis but that we seize this historic opportunity to Build Back Better.

“The Biden budget paves the path for opportunity, prosperity and justice For The People.  It is transformational, making important and overdue investments in the foundations of America’s strength, including by creating good-paying jobs and powering economic growth that will ensure our global competitiveness.  It will make a significant difference in the lives of the American people: advancing their health, economic security and well-being.

“The House looks forward to working with the Biden-Harris Administration to pass a strong budget and create a more prosperous, secure and just future for all.”
