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.
"It helps working families' paychecks go farther by treating things like paid sick leave and child care as the economic priorities that they are," Obama said in a speech Monday. "It gives Americans of every age a chance to upgrade their skills so they can earn higher wages."
