Lawmakers Trim Obama Budget
---------------------------



On Capitol Hill, lawmakers continue negotiations on the final version of
President Obama’s budget plan. On Wednesday, the House Budget Committee
voted to back the measure after trimming tens of billions of dollars
from the original proposal. The Senate Budget Committee is expected to
vote on its version later today.
