plan on Monday for 2013 that seeks to achieve $4 trillion in deficit
reduction over the next decade but does little to restrain growth in the

Obama's new budget was immediately attacked by Republicans as a retread of
previously rejected ideas. The budget battle is likely to be a major

annual earnings of $250,000 or more would help the economy, supporting the
position President Barack Obama has stressed in his re-election campaign.
The survey by the Pew Research Center released yesterday shows that 44

such a move would harm the economy and 24 percent said there would be no
