   There are big, ugly problems at the center of the House budget bill

   House Republicans want to cut taxes -- especially for the rich and corporations.

   But they also want to reduce deficits -- which is at odds with those tax cuts. Tax cuts cost money, after all.

Perhaps the tax breaks could be offset by huge cuts to major safety-net programs such as Medicaid and food stamps.

   But Republicans claim they also want to help regular Americans,
   who would definitely be hurt if their health care and food assistance are taken away.
   
There’s no way to achieve all these things in one bill
