President Barack Obama vowed to cut $4 trillion in cumulative deficits within 12 years through a combination of spending cuts and tax increases

Sure he says that, but even though he uses the term "spending cuts", he doesn't really mean spending cuts. I'm not even saying he's lying (he could be but I'm not accusing him of that here), but what he thinks of as a spending cut isn't a cut. He calls a smaller increase a cut and then talks about all the cuts he is going to make. Repeating his words doesn't address the point, I'm not saying he's not talking about cuts, I'm not even saying he would oppose what he calls cuts (although he might when it actually came to implementing them), the point is that what he calls a cut isn't a cut.


I am not sure what your news sources are but you are incorrect. I suggest you change media outlets. Once you do that, and you are up to speed, then get back to me.
