I don't think Obama had a lot of choice in the matter.

How much were revenues DOWN when he came into office?

When the country was on the brink of another great depression did you expect him to come in with massive budget CUTS?

That's what Hoover did and we all know how popular HE was.

Greece is going through the SAME crap right now that WE are going to have to go through. We are going to HAVE to make major cuts in spending and we are going to have to RAISE taxes.

ALL I hear from the Republicans is we need to CUT TAXES and CUT GOVERNMENT. Well that sounds GREAT. Everybody likes that.

The PROBLEM comes when you have to tell people WHAT you will cut. The Republicans aren't talking about that part of the equation. Are they going to cut the military, are they going to cut farm subsidies, are they going to cut social security and medicaid/medicare? Are they going to cut education?
