"...nearly $250 billion in reductions in Medicare spending, $330 billion in cuts in other mandatory benefit programs,...
Oh puhlease, he would never ever sign a bill that cut have a trillion in bennies for the gimmes, no matter how he claimed it would be paid for (hate that term) by tax increases on the rich.
This is a political ploy for the centrist moderate types. Hope they have learned, but don't have much faith in people who live their lives by sound bytes.

They simply don’t understand.
They can raise the marginal tax rate, but that won’t raise revenue, it will reduce it.

He planned to cut it all along while he gives us the bigger fiscal demon of Obama care
Were Medicare and Obama care to run in parallel?

What a great idea. With the economy sailing along like it is, it can easily withstand another $1.5 trillion taken out of the private sector.
Why not increase taxes $7.5 trillion on the rich. That would be five times as good.
Obama isn’t going to leave any doubt that he is an absolute imbecile.

If you look at obama through the prism of a rejected audacious hyper-narcissist, everything he does will make sense. He is as bitter as rattle snake venom right now.

No mention of cutting foreign aid, of course.

Wow Obummer, you just locked in the Daily Kos vote. Big whoop you Marxist idiot. You better hope they can put their bongs down long enough to vote.
To: rfp1234
He is worse than that.
This clown is intentionally making people on both sides of the fence hungry in a bid to get them to fight for crumbs.
FUBO!!
