What's in the budget bill?

Members on both sides of the Capitol spent the day sifting through the details of the 2011 budget bill that was released in the early morning hours on Tuesday.

The bipartisan deal crafted by President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner, R-OH, and Senate Majority Leader Reid, D-NV -- and agreed to late Friday night, averting a government shutdown -- contains $38 billion in budget cuts to a wide range of programs and services. The measure funds the government through the current fiscal year 2011, which ends September 30.

The cuts caused concerns among lawmakers reviewing the details Tuesday. Some Republicans complained the cuts didn't go far enough. Democrats argued they hurt those individuals and families most in need.

Representative Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican and Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, said he will oppose the measure.

"I believe voters are asking us to set our sights higher," Jordan said. "Americans want us to reach higher, act bolder, and remember the job we were sent here to do

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who caucuses with Senate Democrats, said he intends to vote against the bill because it harms American families.

"At a time when the gap between rich and everybody else is growing wider, this budget is Robin Hood in reverse. It takes from struggling working families and gives to millionaires," Sanders said. "This is obscene."

The cuts, while historic because of their size, did not appear to be as harsh as many had feared.

Some reductions in funding levels were considered significant, while others seemed to be cuts in name only. That's because they rely on accounting gimmicks, reducing money left over from previous years, cuts to earmarks and cuts to programs President Obama had intended to scale back or eliminate anyway.

The House and Senate are expected to vote on the measure before the end of the week.
