As an outsider, who doesn’t know every detail about our governments balance sheet, I believe trusting Obama, with his thoughtful approach, is all I can do.
If hes serious about cutting the deficit at all he should cut the trillion dollar + military/intelligence spending. You don't need 50%+ of the world's military spending to defend against a few cave dwellers. Let's get real here.

They wont. Big spending is good for Lockheed-Martin after all. 164.116.47.180 (talk) 17:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
When 90% of the budget is wasteful, nicking the skin won't solve anything. —68.224.36.62 (talk) 19:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC) Brent
