On Feb. 2, President Barack Obama presented his budget plan for the coming fiscal year: a nearly $4 trillion package that includes increased spending for public works projects like highways and bridges, increased capital gains taxes for upper-income couples, and two years of free tuition for community college students.
Republicans immediately declared the President’s spending plan dead on arrival. But even some Democrats are not in step on every item in it.
Veteran metro Atlanta Democratic Congressman David Scott called on both sides to compromise on issues like taxation and immigration.
