Default Good Effort By Obama

Deficit control is coming. Sometime, somehow, someway.

Is Obama switching over to the Republican Party?

Historically, the GOP is most definitely the wrong party if you want deficit reduction and decreasing taxes ...

There is no way possible to control the deficit at this point. We will be in this environment for the foreseeable future.

Bull. The method for controlling the deficit starts with "There is no such thing as an entitlement."

And how about stopping the practice of borrowing trillions from China and then giving billions to other countries in the form of foreign aid.

This is just the low hanging fruit, but yet it's a good place to start.

there will always be a deficit-the trick is not having it so high that it affects our ability to borrow, or too high that it affects our economy and perceived strength.

i wonder tho how much longer obama will promote the fiction of lowered medicaid/care payments to doctors? when submitting a budget, i guess it's too much to ask for one that attempts to be fairly accurate. i'll take accurate over polly-annic any day.
