House Passes Ryan's 2012 Budget Plan

The House passed a 2012 budget resolution Friday in a partisan vote of 235-193 with four Republicans dissenting. The blueprint, put forward by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, would reduce spending by trillions of dollars over the next decade, in part by overhauling Medicare and Medicaid. It's a non-starter in the Senate ? but a benchmark for the conservative majority in the House, which will have to convince voters that fiscal discipline trumps a popular entitlement.
