Editorial: Obama Budget and the Entitlement Debate
The piece argues Obama’s budget avoids hard choices and calls for a commission or for Republicans to propose feasible cuts. It notes entitlement spending, discretionary spending limits, and the need for political courage as 2012 election rhetoric looms. It contrasts Obama and Ryan proposals and suggests a real-teeth commission might be best.

Obama budget bets on short term gains to cut deficits
The 2012 budget outlined by President Obama seeks to shrink deficits over time by relying on an improving economy. It projects a current-year shortfall of 1.65 trillion dollars, the highest in dollar terms and a postwar high as a share of GDP. Republicans decry the plan as too tax-light and not enough on spending cuts, while both parties ignore the long term debt which stands at about 14.1 trillion dollars and keeps rising. The budget argues economic strength will lift tax receipts and reduce a recessionary drag, but structural deficits in Social Security and Medicare remain a concern.
