"I am very worried about federal spending. We are doing better but we have to even more. I cut the F-22 program to save money. We need to do more to close the %7.3 Trillion gap that we inherited (from the evil Bush-Cheney). That's why it's so important to do so now."

Huh?

“Republicans passed a bill to contain costs but it had no power. So, let’s ask Congress to vote on healthcare as a package. This would be empowering. Medicare benefits will not be changed; they’ll be delivered in a better way (”Soylent Green is People!”) The pharma industry have contributed $80B to help seniors to fill the do-nut hole in their coverage (?) so that’s a change to decrease out of pocket savings for seniors.”

He's BSing there. Most of the "savings" were from taking the FY2009 as the baseline and seeing how much was saved by cutting Iraq operations time ten years. Well, we were cutting down on Iraq anyway, so I don't thing FY2009 should be used as the baseline for savings, rather planned war budgets for future years vs. Obama's revised plans.
