Barack Obama: Obama

Social Security And Medicare Dept: Obama's spending blueprint for the 2014 budget year would accomplish the deficit cuts through a combination of further tax increases, further reductions in the growth of spending and reductions in the growth of the government's biggest benefit programs, Social Security and Medicare, which provide monthly pensions and health care coverage to the elderly, according to CTV. Obama's Democratic allies have attacked him for pursuing cuts in Social Security and Medicare, while Republicans have rejected the president's efforts to raise taxes further and WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday is sending Congress his 2014 budget, an effort to achieve an elusive grand bargain to tame runaway deficits that have soared above $1 trillion for each of the past four years. But instead of moving Congress nearer a grand bargain, Obama's proposals so far have managed to anger Republicans and Democrats alike. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
