The House adopted a $3.5 trillion Republican budget. The budget calls for a $5.3 trillion spending cut over the next decade. Under this budget, Medicaid, Pell grants, food stamps, welfare, farm subsidies, and the operating budgets of the most federal agencies all would face reductions. It will also boost defense spending and lower taxes for the higher earning Americans. The plan would also threaten many tax breaks, such ones that allow homeowners to write off their mortgage interest. Many Democrats say that the effects of the budget will take a lot for the poor and lower income Americans while giving tax breaks to the wealthy Americans.

The main the components of the budget proposal are, that they plan to make major cuts to Medicare, pare food stamps, Pell grants and other programs for the poor and reduce taxes for high earners. I disagree with proposal because taking away from the last few programs that the poor has is not going to make the government better. Taking from the poor is only going to make more for them have to apply for government assistance, which is in turn still making the government dish out even more money that they do not have. The Obama administration considers the budget as a giveaway to the wealth, the oil companies, Wall Street. I agree that this is all these budget cuts are doing. I feel as though the wealthier people have more money to give and therefore should have higher taxes than the average person. We have enough wealthy people for most of the shortages to be covered and the contributors could still stay wealthy. They also put together a bipartisan plan to cut project budget deficits by $4 trillion by increasing taxes and cuts to entitlement programs. I disagree with this plan because many Americans already cannot afford to pay their taxes and support their family.

The main point in this House Budget proposal is that the U.S House wants to have a major cuts in Medicare and other programs. The government is in debt crisis right now because of the 1.2 trillion deficit. One of the suggest is to cut projected budget deficits by 4 trillion over a decade through tax increases and cuts entitlement programs. The plan has been rejected and the government plan to lower the deficit through cutting social-welfare programs; medicaid, health-care program, pell college-tuition grants, food stamps, welfare. This plan would threaten many tax breaks like home mortgages and the biggest chance would be to overhaul medicare; it would affect the seniors.

After reading through the package, it state that the United State House adopted a $3.5 trillion Republican budget cuts in Medicare and other programs. It would overhaul Medicare, pare food stamps, Pell grants and other programs for the poor, boost defense spending and reduce taxes for high earners.

i disagree with the proposed budget plan because of the things that it would entail. i think that it would be very unfair to reduce taxes for wealthy people. in addition to this they plan on overhauling medicare, food stamps, grants, and other programs for the poor and middle class. healthcare should be granted to those who need it such as seniors and should not be granted to those who make more money. overall i dont think that this ghealth plan would help out the average blue collar american but it would cut many breaks for the rich.

The proposal of this House Budget is that the U.S. want to cut money from some of the major programs because of the government in the U.S. is in debt crisis. The U.S. House project in suggestion to cut budget deficits is by increasing tax rate and cuts off money from other programs. The program that they willing to cuts are social-welfare program, Medicaid, Health-care program,food steams welfare, and pell college-tuition grants. However this plan has been rejected which the government plan in principally to lower the deficits. The plan can not work through because it's really effect many people that live in the U.S. which all the programs that they plan in willing to cuts are very important and necessary for all the people.
