Congress' budget blueprint contains a warning to Obama - Los Angeles Times

Congress' budget blueprint contains a warning to Obama - Los Angeles Times: "Reporting from Washington -- The broad outlines of the $3.5-trillion spending blueprint that Congress approved this week hews closely to President Obama's spending targets and pays homage to his ambitious agenda. But the fine print contains a sobering warning about his marquee initiatives on healthcare, energy, education and economic recovery.

Congress' message: We can't do it all at once.

Both the House and Senate budget resolutions, which set guidelines for future spending, give the green light to a sweeping overhaul of the healthcare system, but only if the president comes up with an acceptable way to fund it. The resolutions do not block action on Obama's global warming initiative, but a bipartisan coalition has dashed administration hopes of moving it on a fast track."
