Biden's budget plan sparks criticism from GOP over energy sector and healthcare.

Senate GOP Conference Chair John Barrasso and 21 other Republican senators have accused President Biden of "throwing away" the US energy sector in his budget proposal, which would punish fossil fuels with higher taxes and award "lavish subsidies" to green energy initiatives. Biden's budget plan seeks to invest billions into renewable energy, but Barrasso argues that this would not only result in Americans paying more at home, but also make it more difficult for US allies to stop depending on Russian oil and gas.
