美国总统奥巴马计划将公布拟议中的2012年联邦预算，谋求在10年内把联邦赤字减少1.1万亿美元。
星期一，奥巴马即将向国会提交他的3.5万亿美元的预算，同时美国今年面临着创记录的超过1.6万亿美元的赤字。
白宫预算办公室主任雅各布.卢星期日说，这项议案将在奥巴马的第一个任期在2013年结束前削减一半的赤字。
这项拟议中的削减预算比奥巴马上个月在国情咨文中公布的削减非必要项目开支四千亿美元的幅度大一倍以上。削减预算中包括穷人的能源补贴和一些基础设施项目。
奥巴马总统还寻求通过向最富有的美国人减少税收优惠政策来增加财税收入。
星期六，奥巴马说，预算计划要求华盛顿“量入为出”。
共和党人批评这项议案，说它在减少赤字方面做得太少。共和党人希望将国内开支削减到2008年奥巴马当选时的水平。
U.S. President Barack Obama is set to unveil a proposed federal budget for 2012 that will seek to cut the federal deficit by $1.1 trillion over 10 years.
Mr. Obama is sending his $3.5 trillion budget to Congress Monday, as the U.S. faces a record deficit of more than $1.6 trillion this year.
White House budget chief Jacob Lew said Sunday the proposal would cut the deficit in half by the end of Mr. Obama’s first term in 2013.
The proposed budget reductions are more than double the $400 billion of cuts in non-essential programs the president unveiled in his State of the Union address last month. The cuts include trimming energy subsidies for the poor and some infrastructure programs.
The president is also seeking to increase revenues by reducing tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.
On Saturday, Mr. Obama said the budget plan “asks Washington to live within its means.”
Republicans have criticized the proposal, saying it does little to reduce the deficit. The Republicans want to slash domestic spending to the levels of 2008, the year Mr. Obama was elected.
