House Republicans are furious over \u2018woke\u2019 programs President Biden wants to fund in his $7.3 trillion budget request.<\/p>\n

Biden released his 188-page proposal to fund the federal government on Monday. It lays out roughly $5 trillion in tax increases overall, which the White House said would be split evenly between corporations and the top 2% of earners.<\/p>\n

A new memo by House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, highlighted billions aimed at green energy initiatives and equity programs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the U.S. national debt is currently just under $34.5 trillion and the federal budget deficit is $531 billion, according to the latest data.<\/p>\n

The document pointed to $3 billion for the State Department to \u2018advance gender equity and equality worldwide,\u2019 as well as $1.5 billion for the Transportation Security Administration\u2019s \u2018pay equity initiative.\u2019<\/p>\n

It also mentioned $11 billion that Biden wants for the Department of Interior to \u2018preserve the stories of the cultures and history across America.\u2019<\/p>\n

On climate change, Biden is seeking $8 billion for his American Climate Corps, aimed at hiring 50,000 new staffers by 2031 to \u2018mobilize a new, diverse generation of\u2026 climate resilience workers,\u2019 according to Arrington\u2019s memo.<\/p>\n

The Texas Republican also flagged $10.6 billion that Biden wants for the Department of Energy to bolster \u2018climate and clean energy research, development, demonstration and deployment programs\u2019 \u2013 a 12% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n

Biden is also seeking $1.5 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights\u2019 \u2018environmental justice efforts,\u2019 as well as $500 million for the Green Climate Fund to \u2018expand climate adaptation and mitigation projects in developing countries,\u2019 the memo said.<\/p>\n

The president also requested $90 billion to expand access to free community college, even after pushback from both the House and Senate on his efforts to broadly forgive student debt.<\/p>\n

\u2018Budgets are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet \u2013 they are a set of values and principles \u2013 and based on his FY25 budget, it is clear President Biden values a bigger, more radical, and more powerful federal government over the freedom, safety and economic security of his fellow Americans,\u2019 Arrington told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The budget is largely symbolic and has virtually no chance of passing the Republican-controlled House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, it is a significant part of the president\u2019s pitch to voters as he seeks to win another term in November.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on Arrington\u2019s memo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
