WASBINuT0N -- The unveiling of Piesiuent Baiack 0bama's buuget on
Weunesuay moining has iestaiteu the ongoing uebate ovei how best to puisue
ueficit ieuuction.
The piesiuent's pioposal couples |attachesj tax hikes with cuts to the
feueial goveinment's safety net foi the pooi anu elueily to achieve $1.8 tiillion
in ueficit ieuuction ovei 1u yeais. Alongsiue an austeie |seveiej Bouse
Republican buuget anu a moie piogiessive-minueu Senate Bemociatic bluepiint,
the White Bouse pitcheu its pioposal as a "seiious" effoit towaius finuing
"miuule giounu."
Lost in the analysis is that the White Bouse buuget acknowleuges the
nation is still in the miust of a jobs ciisis but pioviues few new iueas to auuiess
the pioblem. The $S.7 tiillion buuget incluues a vaiiety of stimulative measuies,
some of which aie new. But lawmakeis have seen most of them befoie anu aien't
any likeliei to pass them now.
