House passes $6 trillion spending cut plan
2011-04-15
Rep. Paul Ryan's plan
The House on Friday passed a Republican budget blueprint proposing to fundamentally overhaul Medicare and combat out-of-control budget deficits with sharp spending cuts on social safety net programs like food stamps and Medicaid.

The nonbinding plan lays out a fiscal vision cutting $6.2 trillion over the coming decade from the budget submitted by President Barack Obama. It passed 235-193 with every Democrat voting "no."

#1  Let's see - 6 trillion in spending cuts (over 10 years)... but somehow we spend more next year than this year.

We're not stupid. When I "cut spending" I spend less this year than I did last year.

I fear for my children.
