Bolstering US health
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been scrutinized for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its leaders have vowed to revamp its structure and processes. Biden requested $11.5 billion for the agency, an increase of $2.3 billion, or 26%, from 2023 — reflecting concerns over the US public-health system. Georges Benjamin, the executive director of the American Public Health Association in Washington DC, says the increase is a good first step.
for climate and energy over the coming decade, Biden’s budget would invest some $16.5 billion for climate science and energy innovation across multiple agencies. Another $4 billion would go towards “game-changing” technologies that could help lower greenhouse-gas emissions in areas such as buildings, aviation, manufacturing and fusion energy. Much of that money would flow through the US Department of Energy’s office of science, which would see its budget increase to $8.

He's right to do that. China is cleaning our clock. If we don't step it up, we'll be beholding to them.
