  1. Federal deficit shrinks at surprising rate

    WASHINGTON &mdash; The federal deficit is shrinking more quickly than expected, and the government's long-term debt has largely stabilized for the next decade, the <a href="http://www.cbo.gov/publication/44172">Congressional Budget Office said</a> Tuesday in a report that could strengthen the Obama administration's hand in the budget battles with congressional Republicans.

  2. The fights Obama picks over Medicare

    The <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Overview">budget</a> that President Obama released Wednesday doesn't include the sort of headline-grabbing initiatives that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) included in his proposal for fiscal 2014, such as a dramatic overhaul of the tax code and a transformation of Medicaid into block grants. But it offers a few ideas on Medicare that, while not as cage-rattling as Ryan's plan, would still bring important changes to the program. Make that, important but unpopular changes.

  4. No debt agreement, no break

    With no deal in sight to curb our growing national debt, America is going broke. So what do our representatives in Congress plan to do about it? Take a two-week break. Are they trying to see whether their abysmal 13% approval rating can sink any lower?

  5. House Republicans and Senate Democrats split on tax reform

    The House and Senate budget committees presented their fiscal 2014 budget proposals this week with sharply different story lines. For House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the point of the exercise was to <a href="http://budget.house.gov/fy2014/">chart a path to a balanced budget</a> that could be sustained for decades. For Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.), it was all about <a href="http://budget.senate.gov/democratic/index.cfm/senatebudget">reviving the economy</a> and spurring middle-class growth to bring the deficit under control.

  7. The Medicare debate we need

    One criticism of the Medicare overhaul that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) has championed is that it would shift more and more of the program's costs onto seniors. In the <a href="http://lat.ms/12N5h23">latest version</a> of his plan, Ryan acknowledges that capping the growth of the program could, in fact, make health insurance more expensive for some retirees. But that's part of the point of the change, which would concentrate Medicare spending on the poorest and sickest seniors.

  8. 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.
