And just to be fair, Congress isnt doing any better, neither party. Well, house republicans are doing a little better, but not much. Theyve been righfully citicized, and now its Obamas turn. However they accomplish this, there are 4 things that have to be done: 1. Cut entitlements in half 2. replace the tax system with one that is more broad and flat 3. cut discretionary spending in half 4. pay off the debt to reduce interest payments The first step in this is firing everyone in congress and the white house that does not agree. Firing anyone in the political parties who do not agree would also be good.
