WASHINGTON

Republicans in the House of Representatives proposed their vision of the 2016 federal budget Tuesday, a starkly different approach from that of President Barack Obama that would balance the books within a decade by cutting $5.5 trillion in projected government spending.

 

The Republican proposal would leave Social Security untouched and reduce projected spending on Medicare by 2 percent over 10 years while making steep cuts in projected spending for Medicaid and other health programs and eliminating all spending for the Affordable Care Act.

 

“It is a plan that balances the budget in less than 10 years, secures and strengthens vital programs, like Medicare,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga., who called the proposed blueprint A Balanced Budget for a Stronger America.
