Biden's proposed 2024 budget would improve many kinds of help for non-rich Americans, though not as much as is needed.

It also reduces future deficits, by increasing taxes on the rich.

It will not be easy to get any of this through the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, nor through the Senate where Manchin can block it. Robert Reich says that Biden knows it is impossible and the point of it is to present his goals and to influence negotiations.

Those are useful things to do to influence the outcome.
