Dems map muted path on tax and spending bill
Democratic leaders in the House resist bold moves on mandated budget cuts and tax hikes while Reagan seeks deficit reduction. Senate debates a constitutional balanced budget amendment as a $12.2 billion cuts package and a $99 billion tax rise move through. House committees inch toward smaller cuts, with Panetta noting limited room for creative changes and ONeill urging GOP responsibility. A veteran aid measure and a $177.1 billion defense authorization bill, backing missile and bomber programs, are also on the agenda.
