…the Obama plan relies on budget cuts for two-thirds of its deficit reduction measures, it goes dangerously far in two areas.  It calls for $360 billion in cuts in mandatory programs other than Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.  The large budget-cut target for this part of the budget risks leading to substantial cuts in core programs for low-income Americans, our most vulnerable people.
