WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. congressional Republicans, having vowed to return to the conservative ideals of limited government, denounced President Barack Obama’s $3.55 trillion budget on Thursday as excessive and misdirected.
While Obama’s fellow Democrats control Congress, he will need the support of fiscal moderates and conservatives in his party, and possibly some Republicans, to pass any budget.
Republicans, already angry over Obama’s success in passing a $787 billion economic stimulus package without their support, indicated they were ready to fight.
