WASHINGTON — The House today rejected a budget pushed by its most conservative members and moved toward approval of a plan written by Republican leaders that would revamp Medicare, slice everything from food stamps to transportation and reject President Barack Obama’s call to raise taxes on the rich.

The conservatives’ package, defeated 285-136, featured sharp reductions in planned spending for Medicaid and other domestic programs. It claims to turn this year’s $1.2 trillion federal deficit into a balanced budget in five years — which most analysts consider unachievable because few lawmakers would vote for the package’s proposed cuts.

None of the competing budgets by Ryan, President Barack Obama or House Democrats claim to balance the budget within the next decade.

Underlining the growing influence of tea party and other conservative Republicans, a clear majority of GOP lawmakers voted for the conservatives’ plan. It was defeated because virtually every Democrat voted against it.

The main GOP blueprint by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was headed for all but certain House passage later today.

It faces a demise that is just as sure in the Democratic-run Senate, which plans to ignore it.
