Liberal Democrats challenged President Obama on Tuesday over his willingness to cut Social Security benefits. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) unveiled a new budget Tuesday that would cut spending by $5.7 trillion, reduce the top tax rate to 25 percent and balance the budget within 10 years. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the lead sponsor of a federal assault weapons ban, says President Obama needs to take a more active role in pushing legislation to prohibit military-style weapons. Elizabeth Letchworth gives us the backstory on the latest from Capitol Hill.
