Republican budget proposes deep cuts to social programs

Rep. Paul Ryan attends Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill Representative Paul Ryan, the leading Republican voice on budget policy, rolled out a new fiscal blueprint on Tuesday that calls for deep cuts in domestic programs, increased defense spending and a goal of erasing annual deficits in 10 years. It revives cuts in social safety net programs that Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, has proposed in other recent budgets. It proposes to reap nearly $2.1 trillion in 10-year budget savings by killing President Barack Obama's health care reforms and slightly revises Ryan's sweeping reform plan for Medicare, the popular health care program for the elderly, by phasing in changes for workers a year older than in past proposals.
