ficit to $1.4 trillion. This leaves little room for big spending initiatives.President Barack Obama plans to announce in next year's State of the Union address that he wants to focus extensively on cutting the federal deficit in 2010 – and will downplay other new domestic spending beyond jobs programs, according to top aides involved in the planning.
The president's plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month’s Democratic election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House.
On the practical side, Obama has spent more money on new programs in nine months than Bill Clinton did in eight years, pushing the annual de
You poor folk don't need to worry. We rich folk just need to pay our fair share.I guess we can get ready for some eyeball pulling tax increases, because that's the only way that the Libbos know how to reduce the deficit.
When's the last time a conservative campaigned on terminating the Social Security System?They sure as hell aren't going to cut any entitlements for the welfare class.
How great would THAT be! Make Social Security optional --- then kill off Medicare / Medicaid, Welfare, ... woo... just got the goosebumps.
Yeah, I thought this was one of those fake story's that are meant as "gotchya" moments for the media, but it's apparent that it's for real. I love the "deficit summit" --- sort of like holding a seminar about the dangers of fire, in the smoldering hull of a house. I can't believe (other than the ultimate shills) would buy into this... funny funny stuff.
Thanks don for your insights as usual.
Along similar lines, I was just going to say that it's been a string of presidencies that have brought us down this road, and the blame can't all be put on Obama. Yes he is part of the problem but he isn't the only source. It's also important to remember that the President is just the face of these decisions; he has executive powers but he also has an entire team assembling scenarios and options for him and congress to consider.
The financial problems are a result of collective mistakes and putting that all on one man is incredibly shortsighted and, frankly, ignorant.
In order for the U.S. to have a tangible financial future, all spending will have to be reduced, conservation will have to be the motto of operation, taxes will increase, and the government must reduce in size. All of these are key to deficit management. Unfortunately, one aspect of increasing the value of currency is capital which may mean more wars in the future to procure assets... but I can only pray that the taste for war fades from consciousness for a while.

I say we means test Social Security and Medicare, cut the military by half, raise the limit on wages subject to the SS and Medicare tax, raise the income tax on Corporations and terminate Medicare Advantage.

Fixed it for you. :mrgreen:Obama knows how to file suit, boycott, threaten, and of course he knows how to manipulate the weak mined liberal, and absolutely dup people an a large scale. Or does that com under the heading baffling them with Bull Shiite.
As far as practical application of business acumen is concerned it's as foreign to Obama as Christian values and the U.S. Constitution.
