>GOP budget plan to cut more than $4 trillion
By Kevin McCoy, USA TODAY
The House Republican who’s writing a proposed 2012 federal budget said Sunday the plan would cut more than $4 trillion in Washington spending over the next 10 years.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., head of the House Budget Committee, previewed general details of the plan set to be officially unveiled Tuesday even as Republicans and Democrats continued negotiations over a spending deal for the next six months that’s needed to avoid a government shutdown on Friday.
In a Fox News Sundayappearance, Ryan said the GOP 2012 budget blueprint would exceed the $4 trillion in spending cuts previously recommended by a presidential debt commission “by cutting spending, reforming entitlements and growing our economy.”
