Bush says 5-year budget plan moves toward balanced budget
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Wednesday said he will submit a five-year budget proposal to the Democratic-controlled Congress next month that would balance the federal budget by 2012, nearly four years after he leaves office.

That plan will "address the most urgent needs of our nation," Bush said, "in particular, the need to protect ourselves from radicals and terrorists, the need to win the war on terror, the need to maintain a strong national defense, and the need to keep this economy going by making tax relief permanent."
