Take a Closer Look. Commentators, pundits, and some policymakers routinely say that while the President’s new budget takes useful steps to reduce the cost of health care programs, the steps are small and rather timid. This judgment seems rooted in the belief that the budget’s changes affecting Medicare beneficiaries, which save a modest $64 billion over the first ten years (the budget’s Medicare changes as a whole would save $371 billion), are very limited in their impact. This belief is … http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/PRmdlyBy-no/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3959 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:33:34 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3959 Chained CPI Proposal Would Cut Social Security Retirement Benefits by About 2 Percent, on Average The President’s new budget proposes to use the chained Consumer Price Index (CPI) for computing cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security and certain other federal benefits, as well as for indexing key parameters of the tax code.[1] The effect of this proposal on Social Security retirement benefits would vary by a person’s age and benefit level and would differ for current and future beneficiaries, but most future beneficiaries would experience a benefit reduction … http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/RNZQMHRe9Ng/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3957 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:22:06 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3957 Off the Charts Blog: President's Budget Leaves Little Room for Further Compromise http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/UBrnwCVebd4/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 13:32:28 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Off the Charts Blog: Proposal to Delay DSH Cuts No Reason Not to Expand Medicaid http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/UBrnwCVebd4/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:28:56 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Off the Charts Blog: In Case You Missed It http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/UBrnwCVebd4/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:43:18 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 President Obama's Deficit-Reduction Package and Other Proposals in the 2014 Budget Overview The President’s 2014 budget is presented in two parts. One part includes the package of deficit- reduction policies that the President included in his last offer to Speaker Boehner during the “fiscal cliff” negotiations in December 2012. This package would reduce the deficit by $1.8 trillion over the next decade and go somewhat beyond stabilizing the debt as a share of the economy, setting it on a slight downward path. When coupled with the … http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/akmCDhe5HfA/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3952 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:59:39 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3952 Statement by Robert Greenstein, President, on President Obama's FY 2014 Budget President Obama’s budget includes a $1.8 trillion deficit reduction package that reflects his last offer to Speaker Boehner during their budget talks in December. The new budget — like the President’s offer — represents a substantial compromise on the President’s part; compared to the President’s original offer to the Speaker from earlier in December, it contains $400 billion less in new revenue, $200 billion more in discretionary program cuts, and the … http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/Z5LEsD-PRxg/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3951 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:34:46 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3951 Off the Charts Blog: President's Budget Affirms That Washington Will Pay Nearly All the Costs of Expanding Medicaid http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/UBrnwCVebd4/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:53:58 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Off the Charts Blog: Most Deficit Savings Have Come from Program Cuts http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/UBrnwCVebd4/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:10:16 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Commentary: The Debate Over the Chained CPI The news that President Obama’s new budget will propose adopting the “chained” Consumer Price Index (CPI) for cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security and other retirement programs, and annual inflation adjustments in the tax code, has intensified the debate on this issue. Some commentators portray this proposal as a test of fiscal rectitude, arguing that the chained CPI more accurately measures inflation — period — and that if you’re opposed to … http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/q1QEpTukmqU/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3950 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:46:22 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3950 Off the Charts Blog: Who's Serious About Getting a Budget Deal? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CBPP-BudgetFederal/~3/UBrnwCVebd4/ http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:34:08 -0400 http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3184
