Budget pact shows slim near term cuts in federal outlays
The CBO estimates the spending bill backed by Obama and Boehner would cut just 352 million from non war outlays through Sept 30, with total outlays rising 3.3 billion when war funding is included. Deficit reduction claimed spans a decade, while immediate effects are small due to mid year timing. House votes set for Thursday amid stopgap risk.
