On Civil Rights: Enforce Court decision ending college affirmative action

On June 29, 2023, the Supreme Court struck a blow against institutionally-driven racism in the United States. In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard College, the Supreme Court found [that colleges with affirmative action admissions] were impermissibly discriminating against certain applicants based exclusively on their race.

While the Court took a big step forward in eliminating racial discrimination in admissions, more work remains to be done. In his remarks in the wake of the landmark decision, President Biden proposed "a new standard, where colleges take into account the adversity a student has overcome, including racial discrimination that individuals have faced in their own lives."

We call upon the Biden administration to embrace the Court's holdings: racial discrimination [does not] have any place in schooling. The American people deserve no less than an Executive Branch committed to enforcing the law equally to all people without concern for their race.

On Social Security: Balanced budget plan doesn't touch Social Security/Medicare

My plan doesn't touch Medicare or Social Security. We'll stop out-of-control spending by putting "mandatory" spending that has nothing to do with entitlements back on the chopping block.

The budget would extend the life of the Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid trust funds, ensuring that the millions of seniors who rely on this program for their health care can continue to count on it. The Braun Budget also prioritizes eliminating billions in improper payments.
