WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- U.S. President Joe Biden sketched his policy vision for a potential second four-year term on Monday, unveiling a $7.3 trillion election-year budget aimed at convincing skeptical Americans that he can run the economy better than Donald Trump.

Biden wants to raise taxes by trillions on corporations and high earners, his budget wish list showed, to help cut the deficit and pay for new programs assisting those who make less cope with high housing and child-care costs. Congress is unlikely to adopt the measures as proposed.
