House Republicans unveiled a budget proposal Tuesday that would eliminate the federal deficit within 10 years, largely by overhauling Medicare and Medicaid and other social safety-net programs.
The proposal uses a contentious tactic designed to placate defense hawks concerned about military spending curbs and deficit hawks uneasy over waning fiscal discipline. It would boost military spending through the use of emergency war funds that aren’t subject to congressionally mandated spending caps.
