The Senate Budget Plan

The NYT editors like the Senate budget plan better than the Ryan plan. Of course the Ryan plan did not set a high bar for comparison, but there are many important differences.  The editorial describes some of the things that it likes about the plan, and some of the things that might have been included, but were left out. A compromise between the Ryan plan and the Senate plan would move the budget even further to the right. There is a link to the Progressive Caucus Plan for those who want to review a budget plan that would be a better plan from which to negotiate.  A compromise from that plan would produce a budget closer to the center.
