‘Our budget is about choices. It’s about our values’

Obama unveils $4T budget plan (Fox News)

President Obama unveiled a $3.9 trillion budget plan on Tuesday that drops earlier proposals to cut future Social Security benefits and seeks new money for infrastructure, education and jobs training -- handing Democrats running for re-election a political playbook but angering Republicans who called the blueprint "irresponsible." 

The plan sent to Congress hammers the president's theme of "opportunity" for Americans. 

"It is a road map for creating jobs with good wages and expanding opportunity for Americans," Obama said in Washington. 

But Obama's almost $4 trillion budget plan is likely to have a short shelf life.
