It faces a Christmas deadline and would trigger 1.2 trillion in automatic cuts if Congress fails to act. Moody's kept AAA with negative outlook. President Obama urged tax increases on the wealthy while Republicans demand restraint.

Senator Bingaman warns defense bases and labs could suffer. The plan previously calls for 5.8 billion dollars to modernize Los Alamos and refurbish B61 bombs at Sandia.
