Days after introducing a new plan to shore up Medicare, President Joe Biden called for "protecting and strengthening" Social Security with the introduction of his fiscal 2024 budget on Thursday.
With the budget, the president reaffirmed his intentions to reject any proposed cuts to Social Security or Medicare.
Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have also led a plan that would make income over $250,000 subject to Social Security taxes.
At the same time, the budget also indicates that the administration "looks forward to working with Congress to responsibly strengthen Social Security by ensuring high-income individuals pay their fair share."
Biden has proposed raising Medicare taxes to 5%, from 3.8%, for both earned and unearned income over $400,000.
