The one thing that annoys me the most are catch phrases and euphemisms.

The portions of the speech made by Obama that I have heard were all strait forward, this is what we need to do.

Then I start hearing from BOTH sides phrases like "American People" (all 2% of them), and another that fails me now which all seem to side-step the actual import of what is going on and tries to make it sound friendly and simple to the american people.

Here's the bottom line. MAJOR cuts need to be made, primarily in the Military budget. MAJOR changes need to be made in regards to regulations on Health Care Providers and ESPECIALLY insurance agencies and pharmaceutical companies (any time that Medicare is raised, the cost of care mysteriously goes up to match, I cry SHENANIGANS!!!!).

IN ADDITION, the tax breaks that Bush and Co. gave their supporters need to be allowed to expire. We need money from those than can afford it now to REDUCE the debt. The combination of losing our manufacturing and labor overseas AND a huge debt whose INTEREST ALONE is almost $500B/year is just inexcusable.

Both "sides" need to dig into their false promises and make concessions to get us back to a point where we can argue about where our SURPLUS DOLLARS will be going, not about how we are going to handle our debt.
