"US Faces Crossroads on Sustaining Financial Aid for Ukraine's Success"

Shalanda Young, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget director, has expressed urgent concern over the delay in Congress approving additional aid for Ukraine, emphasizing the dire consequences for both Ukraine's military efforts and government functionality amid the Russian invasion. The situation is complicated by negotiations over immigration policy and looming deadlines that risk a U.S. government shutdown. President Biden has proposed a national security spending request that includes funding for Ukraine and border management, but the outcome remains uncertain as House Republicans seek concessions on border policy. Young remains neither pessimistic nor optimistic about avoiding a shutdown but stresses the necessity of passing the aid for Ukraine.

Romney clashes with Biden officials over Social Security

Sen. Mitt Romney grilled White House budget official Shalanda Young on why President Biden's budget does not address the expected shortfall of Social Security in 2032. Young said Biden believes the biggest threat to Social Security are those who want to cut it. Romney rejected the claim that any current senators or House members want to cut Social Security benefits and called it dishonest. The ongoing Social Security fight between Democrats and Republicans has been accusing each other of making decisions that will ultimately risk the sustainability of entitlements like Social Security and Medicare.
