 House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) unveiled a spending proposal Tuesday that would slash more than $5 trillion in federal spending over the next decade, primarily by repealing President Obama's signature health law.

 The 99-page plan is Ryan's last budget as head of the Budget Committee and amounts to a personal manifesto on government austerity from a man who has emerged as the GOP’s leading light on fiscal policy. Term-limited as head of the budget panel, Ryan is vying to become chairman of the powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee next year, while still mulling a bid for president in 2016. 
  
 Ryan uses his final budget to distance himself from a tax overhaul advocated by the outgoing Ways and Means chairman, Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), who on Monday announced plans to retire. The Ryan budget does not contain a counterproposal to Camp's, except to reassert the goal of a top individual tax rate of 25 percent, collapsing the current seven individual income-tax brackets into two brackets and calling for consideration of several ideas to overhaul the tax system. 
  
 Ryan also proposes no increase in defense spending, instead adhering to the discretionary spending caps he negotiated with Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) in December. 
  
 The House Budget Committee is expected to debate and pass the spending plan Wednesday, and GOP leaders have said they will hold a vote on Ryan's proposal. It is uncertain whether the proposal will be acceptable to a majority of House Republicans, a group often sharply divided on spending matters, and to the broader GOP establishment, which is carefully tracking policy proposals from potential presidential candidates. 
  
 The White House rejected Ryan's plan and said in a statement that it "would slow the economy, stack the deck against the middle class and threaten the guaranteed benefits seniors have paid for and earned." 
  
 Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) slammed the proposal as "Kochtopia," or fulfilling the requests of conservative businessmen Charles and David Koch, who are financing tens of millions of dollars in advertisements this year to discredit Democratic congressional candidates. And House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told reporters that the proposal is "an unserious partisan budget" and "as unrealistic as previous budgets — and some would argue even more so." 
  
 But any fighting between Democrats and Republicans on spending will not result in the deadline-driven battles of recent years. That's because the House and Senate agreed this year to a spending plan that runs through the end of fiscal 2015. While the GOP-controlled House is expected to debate and pass Ryan's plan, it will serve only as a political show vote since Democrats controlling the Senate do not plan to propose or vote on a budget plan. 
  
 Ryan's plan recycles several proposals from previous years that remain popular with GOP lawmakers, including repealing the benefits of the Affordable Care Act. But he keeps the taxes and cuts to Medicare mandated by the law. He calls for privatizing Medicare by changing it from an entitlement program into a voucher-style program. Democrats have previously opposed this proposal and used it as the centerpiece of their arguments against Ryan’s spending proposals. He also proposes cuts to other domestic agencies, reductions in the size of the federal workforce and cuts in retirement benefits for federal workers. And he once again fails to provide a plan to overhaul Social Security. 
  
 Ryan released a stinging critique of the government's anti-poverty policies last month and billed it as a prelude to his budget plan. But the proposal lacks a full welfare reform plan and provides few ideas on overhauling the nation’s social programs, instead advocating smaller steps that would "encourage work" and seek to boost economic growth. 
  
 Ryan does propose turning the federal food stamp program, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), into a block grant program "tailored for each state’s low-income population." Reforms would include stiffer work requirements and new education and job training requirements. The proposal builds on changes pushed by Republicans in the most recent farm bill, which authorizes SNAP funding. None of Ryan's proposed changes to the program would begin until the next farm bill is authorized in 2019 and would save nearly $125 billion over a decade. 
  
 Overall, Ryan would cut about $5.1 trillion from projected spending over the next decade, with nearly $3 trillion coming from repealing the health-care law and revamping Medicaid. Still, Ryan's proposals fall short of balancing the budget, forcing him to resort to a vague promise of new revenue from "economic growth" to meet his goal of wiping out deficits by 2024. 
  
 The new budget plan is dramatically different in structure from any of Ryan's previous proposals, which were mostly sweeping vision statements. The proposal unveiled Tuesday plods function-by-function through the dozens of appropriations categories, with the aim apparently of recommending savings in each category. That bodes well for plans to conduct a full appropriations process in the House and Senate this year, but it results in more modest proposals than in years past.

 Ryan's final $5.1T cut ||||| WASHINGTON — The unveiling Tuesday of Representative Paul D. Ryan’s newest Republican budget may have redrawn the battle lines for the 2014 election, detailing what his party could do with complete control of Congress and allowing Democrats to broaden the political terrain beyond health care and the narrower issues of the minimum wage and unemployment benefits. 
  
 Mr. Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman and a possible White House contender in 2016, laid out a budget plan that cuts $5 trillion in spending over the next decade. He said it would bring federal spending and taxes into balance by 2024, through steep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, and the total repeal of the Affordable Care Act just as millions are reaping the benefits of the law. 
  
 Defense spending would increase. Domestic programs would be reduced to the lowest levels since modern government accounting. And Medicare would be converted into a “premium support” system, where people 65 and older could buy private insurance with federal subsidies instead of government-paid health care. 
  
 “We need to be a proposition party, not just an opposition party,” said Mr. Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin. “We believe we owe it to the country to offer an alternative to the status quo. It’s just that simple.” 
  
 Even with those tough political choices, the budget would balance in 2024 only because Mr. Ryan is assuming his cuts would prompt a burst of economic growth to raise tax revenues above what independent economists forecast. He also does not adjust the government’s revenue ledger to reflect the cost of repealing the health care law’s tax increases and Medicare cuts, which could total $2 trillion. 
  
 “This is what elections are about,” said Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the Budget Committee. “Budgets are the clearest roadmaps for discovering what people’s priorities are.” 
  
 The Ryan budget will be formally drafted on Wednesday in the Budget Committee and brought to a House vote on Friday — if Republican leaders can muster the 217 votes to pass it over the concerns of moderates who say it goes too far and conservatives who say it does not go far enough. Because Senate Democrats do not intend to even draft a budget this year, the Ryan plan will serve more as a political manifesto than a legislative roadmap for the 113th Congress. 
  
 “It is not fair, and it is not acceptable to simply sit by and accept the status quo, as Democrats have chosen to do, time and time again,” said Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, the majority leader. 
  
 Regardless of its fate, the budget will be pushed to the forefront of the coming campaigns, both parties say, not only in House races but also in critical Senate contests. In some of those contests, like Senate races in Arkansas, Louisiana, Montana and West Virginia — where Republicans seek to take seats held by Democrats — Mr. Ryan’s budget will force them to choose whether to support the plan. 
  
 “Bill Cassidy has repeatedly voted to slash seniors’ retirement benefits and turn Medicare into a voucher program that forces hundreds of thousands of Louisiana seniors to pay thousands more for their health care each year, and now he must own the new reckless G.O.P. budget proposal that does exactly that,” said Andrew Zucker, communications director for the Campaign for Louisiana, a Democratic group criticizing Mr. Cassidy, a House Republican running to unseat Senator Mary L. Landrieu.

 Representative Steve Israel of New York, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said that in the coming weeks, the committee would be buying online advertising in competitive House districts, making automated phone calls and creating a new website, “Scandalous,” to tell of district-specific cuts. 
  
 “We are going to make this budget the centerpiece of the next seven months,” he said. 
  
 Republican leaders had considered not doing a budget this year, since spending cuts for the current fiscal year and the next were set in December with passage of a bipartisan plan. But House conservatives demanded a document they could take to their strongly Republican districts. 
  
 The new budget violates some tenets that both parties have tried to observe since the budget fights of 2011 and 2012. Those fights preserved a practice of cutting defense and nondefense programs almost equally while sparing the poorest Americans from the worst of the belt-tightening. 
  
 Mr. Ryan’s plan does not strike that balance. 
  
 In his plan, military spending through 2024 would actually rise by $483 billion over the spending caps established in the 2011 Budget Control Act “consistent with America’s military goals and strategies,” while nondefense spending at Congress’s annual discretion would be cut by $791 billion below those strict limits. 
  
 In all, Mr. Ryan said, spending would be cut by $5.1 trillion over the next decade. More than $2 trillion of that would come from repealing Mr. Obama’s health care initiative, the Affordable Care Act, a political move that has become much more difficult with the closing of the first enrollment period. More than 10 million Americans have gotten health insurance through the law, either through private policies purchased on insurance exchanges, through expanded Medicaid or private policies purchased through brokers but subsidized by the law. 
  
 As with past budget proposals, Mr. Ryan seeks to eliminate the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion, a $792 billion retrenchment, then turn the health care program for the poor into block grants to the states — saving an additional $732 billion over the decade. He would turn food stamps into a block grant program and cap spending, starting in 2020, cutting that program by $125 billion in five years. The budget relies on imposing new work requirements on food stamp and welfare recipients. 
  
 Such an approach “empowers recipients to get off the aid rolls and back on the payrolls,” Mr. Ryan wrote. 
  
 But the toughest cuts would come from domestic programs that have already been reduced steadily since 2011, when Republicans took control of the House. Mr. Ryan’s 2024 domestic spending figure would be lower in nominal dollars than such spending was in 2005. Adjusted for inflation, it would be a 29 percent cut from today’s levels, and 28 percent below the average level of spending in former President George W. Bush’s administration. 
  
 Nor did Mr. Ryan shy away from hot-button issues. Education funding would be cut by $145 billion over 10 years. Pell grants for college students would lose $90 billion. University students would start being charged interest on their loans while still in school, reaping $40 billion. 
  
 Federal subsidies for the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, as well as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting “can no longer be justified,” Mr. Ryan said. ||||| WASHINGTON—House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan released an election-year budget blueprint Tuesday designed to unify Republicans behind an effort to balance the federal budget in 10 years, exposing the party to Democratic attacks over its proposed cuts to Medicare and other safety-net programs.

Output:
Paul Ryan unveiled a Republican budget plan today that would slash $5.1 trillion in federal spending over the coming decade and balance the government's books with wide-ranging cuts in programs like food stamps and government-paid health care for the poor and working class. About 40% of Ryan's projected savings would come from the repeal of ObamaCare, reports the Wall Street Journal. Ryan's budget claims balance by 2024, but relies on $74 billion in savings in that year from the macroeconomic effects of cutting deficits, which CBO says would have a long-term positive effect because it would free up savings and investment capital. Democrats are sure to seize on the maneuver as phony math; without these projections, however, Ryan's budget plan would fall almost $70 billion short of balance. The New York Times writes that Ryan's plan "will serve more as a 2014 Republican campaign manifesto than a legislative agenda." And the Washington Post says it "amounts to personal manifesto on government austerity from a man who has emerged as the GOP’s leading light on fiscal policy." The Post also notes that Ryan wants to replace the outgoing Dave Camp as the next chair of the Ways and Means panel while still keeping his options open for a 2016 run for the White House.
