Not true!!! The progressives in the house just introduced the people's budget which balances by 2014. Only difference is old people aren't thrown at the mercy of the insurance companies and rich people have to actually pay their fair share so the middle class can stay strong and the country can prosper.

A 'people's budget' that invests in jobs - CNN.com

You are pivoting to deficit reduction before there are enough jobs to support it and you will kill the recovery. The best way to reduce the deficit is to continue investing in jobs. Of course, this sucks for Republicans who need things to be bad under Obama so naturally they must be for deficit reduction now and be against anything that Obama might want to pass (even war!! Have you ever seen republicans against war?).

Quote from your site:
"The budget makes targeted public investments, but cuts overall spending by $1.7 trillion over a decade."

Lets do some math, our deficit this yr is 1.6 trillion and it is projected to run a deficit of 1.5 trillion every yr over the next ten yrs that would equal an additional 15 trillion to the existing 14.5 trillion plus add in this yrs 1.6 trillion for a grand total of 32.1 trillion national debt at the end of 10 yrs. Less Obama's cuts in the deficit of 1.7 trillion over ten yrs leaves a national debt of 30.4 trillion. This is your answer to prosperity? And you call this the "peoples budget" talk about cool aid drinkers.

Your statement that Obama is going to have a balanced budget by 2014, I don't want to call it a lie but come on, no I will call it a lie. A flat out lie.

Oh and one more thing, "public investments" equals more "stimulus" you must think the American people are really stupid.
