  1. Senate panel to approve budget sparing safety net

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Acting on the Senate's first budget since President Barack Obama took office, a Democratic-led panel is moving toward party-line approval of a fiscal blueprint that would trim the budget deficit while protecting safety net programs from slashing cuts proposed by Republicans.

  2. Unbalanced budgeting

    In case anyone has missed the dueling budget proposals out this week from Rep. Paul Ryan on the Republican side and Sen. Patty Murray for the Democrats, don't fret. You could easily have slept through the last four months and missed nothing. They are pretty much where the two sides have been for even longer than that.

  3. Unbalanced on budgets

    New budget proposals this week from influential members of the House Republican and Senate Democratic leadership are the stuff of political caricatures. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), last year's Republican nominee for vice president, reprised the spending-cut talking points from his failed campaign with little change and no apparent irony. Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.), meanwhile, offered the outlines of a budget that increases taxes <em>and</em> spending, while doing little more than buying time on the entitlement programs at the heart of Washington's long-term problems. Neither approach offers a realistic way forward. Instead, they give Republicans and Democrats yet another arena in which to fight their ideological battles over the size and scope of government.

  4. Which budget is better? Republicans' or Democrats'?

    Republicans and Democrats introduced rival 10-year budget plans Tuesday. Republicans said their plan, again drafted by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, would balance the budget in a decade, in part by cutting spending on Medicare and Medicaid and repealing Obamacare. Democrats said their plan, from&nbsp; Senate Budget Chairman Patty Murray, would reduce deficits by $1.85 trillion over a decade, but would protect Medicare and Obamacare, and increase taxes on the wealthy. Which plan is the better way to deal with deficits, which have exceeded $1 trillion the past four years, and the national debt, now $16.7 trillion and rising? Is it important to balance the budget in a decade, or should Congress take a slower approach? Do you think the rival plans are the beginnings of a compromise, or a sign that the two parties remain impossibly far apart on the budget? Talk about it!
