No doubt that republicans and democrats are equal in their desire to ignore the medicare/ss problem. And you're right that in and of itself Obama's gesture here to cut some spending is a good thing. But given the context that these cuts won't come anything close to the additional spending he's proposed and they do nothing to address the much more significant problem I can't get too terribly fired up about it.Quote:

The uninformed American will see this on the news and think that this will help and make a difference. Never mind the wasted billions.
Good political move by team Obama.
Sure he does. It will blow up on someone else's watch. GWB did the same thing, as did his predecessors.Quote:
