The proposed budget released yesterday by the White House is President Obama’s opening proffer in what is sure to be weeks of tough negotiations in Washington. Republicans say it doesn’t cut enough, and Democrats say it cuts too much. If the only criteria of a good compromise is that everyone’s unhappy, then this budget might be just the ticket. Local lawmakers join us with their reactions.

Guests:

Carolyn Lochhead, Washington correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle

Karen Bass, Democrat assemblywoman representing California's 33rd District, and member of the House Budget Committee

Wally Herger, Republican congressman representing California's 2nd District, and member of the House Ways and Means Committee
