And he is proposing reckless infrastructure spending with money we don't have.
He had a VERY slim margin of victory . Less than 25,000 votes 0.01% of the voting age population could have changed the 2020 Presidential outcome, and less than 8,000 votes in one of the Georgia Senate races could have changed the Senate outcome as well.
Yet on top of the covid give away ; his infrastructure proposals alone would rank among the most comprehensive changes in decades if passed .
His tax increase proposal is the 2nd highest after the Revenue Act of 1951 and far exceeds any tax increase since.
Doesn't matter ;you can't tax enough to settle a debt that is 120% of GDP and rising . Quid will keep those monopoly money printing presses doing over time .

Even with the tax increases, we’ll still have an enormous deficit.

When one party proposes doing something foolish the other party is under no obligation to come up with something a little less foolish. It is frequently a wonderful thing for this fat, bloated, ponderous, foolish, WASTEFUL federal government to do nothing.

hey it is only OPM question for the uninitiated, how does reversing Trump era tax reductions constitute the highest tax increase ever?

Sadly, not an April Fool's prank.
"Mr. Biden plans to finance that spending, at least in part, with tax increases that could raise upward of $2.5 trillion in revenue if his plan hews closely to what he proposed in the 2020 presidential campaign (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/18/business/biden-tax-plan-economy.html). Aides suggest his proposals might not be entirely paid for, with some one-time spending increases offset by increased federal borrowing."
