Obama Budget Reflects Partisan Divisions

Presiden Obama’s 2015 budget “will abandon overtures to Republicans and call for a large expansion in spending on education and job training, in a push certain to ratchet up tensions in the already-fractured capital ahead of November’s elections,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The proposal–which will serve more as a political treatise than a fiscal blueprint–won’t include a call to slow the growth of Social Security spending by changing how the program accounts for inflation, White House officials said Thursday. Such a change is favored by the GOP and had been included in Mr. Obama’s budget plan last year.”

The Week: Obama is done even pretending to work with Republicans.
