Obama wants to halve budget deficit in four years, page 1

Now someone will have to explain how you can reduce the obscene US budget deficit by half in a mere 4 years, while going even deeper in it with stimulus package(s) ?

Which defense projects will have to be canceled? (V-22, JSF, others, ?)

Your link brings up an error page. I couldn't find the story either. I did hear about it today in passing. Didn't hear any details though. I can't imagine how he thinks he's going to accomplish this feat. It sounds good, but I believe it's wishful thinking on his part.

I suggest you watch IOUSA. The occupations of those countries is only a minuscule percentage. It will not change the deficit enough to even matter. IOUSA did not include the bailouts or the new stimulus plan either. Those two recent events make Obama's goal to reduce the deficit by half in four years to be a laughing matter of astronomical proportions.

Could you please elaborate on your ref. to firearms tax. I believe the only tax I paid on weapons was a sales tax.
I think the people that believe Obama has a clue are the same people that swallowed the hype about a Clinton surplus.
Some would have us believe that the average American has brought this crisis upon themselves. Living beyond their means and the purchase of homes they could ill afford.
I view these explanations as childish hogwash.
Our economic problems will never be resolved until the organization responsible for our countries financial health is dealt with. A few will roll their eyes, but the blame must be placed at the feet of the Federal Reserve Bank and our alleged representative Congress whores who have relinquished their Constitutional responsibility. Unless Obama is willing to dump this criminal enterprise he is simply dancing around the political maypole. Any attempt at a solution is utter BS if the FRB remains in control of our economic policy. My additional two cents is, if you voted for ANY incumbent you are a huge part of the problem. On that note, I believe I'll put another Glock and M1A
on my Master Card.
