Republicans say it is part of their effort to dismantle Democrats' health care overhaul, while Democrats defending the law recall that similar standoffs gave them political gains.
The White House is warning friend and foe alike: They're not going to like every part of President Barack Obama's budget when it is released this week.
The White House has detailed the potential fallout in each state from budget cuts set to take effect at week's end, while congressional Republicans and Democrats keep up the sniping over who's to blame.
The nation's high school graduation rate is the highest since 1976, but more than a fifth of students are still failing to get their diploma in four years, the Education Department said in a study released Tuesday.
In a spirited debate that laid out stark choices, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan teed up pointed arguments on the economy, social policy and America's place in the world that President Barack Obama and GOP rival Mitt Romney now will drive forward into the campaign's final stretch.
Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Thursday went along with a stopgap spending bill in the House that avoids a government shutdown but carries a price tag $19 billion higher than the budget he wrote in his role as a congressman.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama on Monday of distorting the GOP ticket's tax policies, continuing the presidential campaign's sharply personal tone.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are telling New Hampshire voters that they wouldn't touch seniors' health care.
