Obama to Unveil Deficit Plan

HeadlineApr 13, 2011

President Obama is scheduled to deliver a key speech today on his proposal for reducing the nation’s deficit. The White House has not released details, but officials say the plan will borrow heavily from Obama’s bipartisan deficit panel, which has called for a $4 trillion deficit reduction over 10 years. The proposal will reportedly include cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, a tax increase for wealthy Americans, and a modest reduction to the military budget.
