Obama Will Push To Reverse Sequester Cuts

President Barack Obama will tell House Democrats on Thursday that his budget will call for an end to sequestration cuts and build on the “middle class economics” package he outlined in the State of the Union — setting up a clear contrast with Republicans in Congress who want to stick to the spending limits.

President Obama on Thursday will seek to rally Democrats behind a budget proposal he'll release next week that exceeds the spending caps mandated by Congress four years ago in an attempt to reduce the federal deficit.
