The budget would cut more than $360 billion from Medicare, Medicaid and other health programs over a decade. But that's a drop in the bucket when compared to the rapid expansion of costs expected for entitlement programs.

Just when we thought that Grandma didn't have to go out and start stocking up on dog food or watch out that she doesn't get pushed off a cliff... the Republicans show us again that they have no concern about the poor or senior citizens.
Prediction: Neither the Republican nor Obama's budget will be passed before the election. The current Washington philosphy is that politicians no longer want to take responsibility for cuts so they put any budget rollbacks on auto-pilot like the planned military cuts.
