Obama's record $4 trillion budget draws mixed emotions in WI

WASHINGTON D.C. - President Obama will push Congress to pass a $4 trillion budget that he released Monday. The proposal would increase spending for military and domestic programs, while also ending "sequester" spending caps implemented just a few years ago.

Obama framed the budget as an aid package to the middle class. He believes it will help working families.
