House Passes Paul Ryan 2012 Budget

April 15, 2011 by Daniel

 (Reuters) – The House of Representatives on Friday passed a budget plan for the next fiscal year that would cut federal spending by around $6 trillion over a decade and includes controversial long-term cuts to healthcare programs for the elderly and poor.

By a vote of 235-193, the Republican-controlled House passed the budget for fiscal 2012, which starts on October 1. It has been attacked by President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress for cutting social programs while also reducing the tax burden for high-income earners.

The Senate is expected to unveil a much different budget plan in coming weeks.
