WASHINGTON - PRESIDENT Barack Obama pushed back on Tuesday against criticism that he is trying to take on too many issues at once, defending a US$3.6 trillion (S$5.5 trillion) budget that seeks to shore up the economy while also overhauling health care, energy and education.
'To kick these problems down the road for another four years or another eight years would be to continue the same irresponsibility that led us to this point,' Mr Obama said in an appearance with the heads of the congressional budget committees.
