President Barack Obama will send a $4 trillion budget blueprint to Congress today that would raise taxes on corporations and the nations top earners, fund major investments in infrastructure and education and stabilize, but not eliminate, the annual budget deficit.
President Barack Obama reached into his partys progressive past to deliver a robust endorsement of higher taxes for the wealthy, government intervention in the economy and an array of new benefits for lower- and middle- income Americans.
Republicans swept to control of the Senate by capitalizing on voter anger over President Barack Obamas handling of the economy, setting up a clash of priorities that will shape his final two years in office and the race to succeed him.
Hillary Clinton wrote and circled the word no next to future Vice President Joe Bidens name on a list of lawmakers who supported or opposed her health-care plan in 1993.
In key races, as the now-delayed deadline for new enrollment on the health insurance exchanges arrives today, Democrats face this reality: The laws a political loser, and theres no easy fix.
While his approval rating rebounded to 48 percent in the most recent Bloomberg National Poll, Obama remains a polarizing figure in some districts and states, especially those where Democrats are in closely competitive races.
Hillary Clinton's experience informed President Obamas strategy when he rolled out his health care plan after taking office in 2009.
