Republican budget draws election contrast with Obama | Reuters

Republican budget draws election contrast with Obama | Reuters: "The budget proposes sweeping changes to the popular government-run Medicare healthcare program for the elderly, a politically risky gambit for Republicans who faced a voter backlash last year when they offered a similar plan.

It also seeks to cap discretionary federal spending on education, transportation and other government programs at $1.029 trillion, roughly $18 billion less than Democrats want. That sets up a battle over spending that, if unresolved, could lead to a government shutdown later this year."

I doubt this will happen. But when the U.S looks like Greece in 20 years, we will look back at Paul Ryan as a wise oracle.
