GOP-run House easily rejects Obama budget By ANDREW TAYLOR \| Associated Press – 12 hrs ago WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-run House has overwhelmingly rejected President Barack Obama's $3.6 trillion budget for next year after a vote forced by GOP lawmakers to embarrass Democrats. Republicans have opposed Obama's budget all year, criticizing its tax increases on the wealthy and saying it lacks sufficient spending cuts. Democrats have defended Obama's budget priorities but they largely voted "no" Wednesday night. Republicans said Democrats were afraid to vote for Obama's proposed tax increases and extra spending for energy and welfare. Democrats said Republicans had forced a vote on a version of Obama's budget that contained only its numbers, not the policies he would use to achieve them. The vote was 414-0. The vote came as the House debated a GOP budget that contains far more deficit reduction than Obama has proposed.
