>> I am all about fiscal discipline. * Obama economic stimulus (temporary/discretionary) Nobody who supported this economic "stimulus" bill is about fiscal discipline. Sorry. You can't have it both ways.

Obama economic stimulus (temporary/discretionary) So you expect spending to go down after the stimulus and/or recession is over?

So the bottom line is if you want to eliminate these deficits, we need to reform Health Care to drive a more competitive free market that will drive costs down First of all, I don't understand this sentence. Second, there is nothing competitive or free market about Obama Care, and it will drive the costs up. Didn't you hear that using smoke and mirrors, it is just under 1 trillion, much more without the smoke and mirrors? That goes under permanent deficits, in your little table. The permanent structural deficits need to be addressed by new Congressional legislation. So the question is whether you really believe in fiscal discipline enough to do something about it. Or are you like the current GOP, which would rather see Obama fail rather than to work with the Dems on solutions to this country's problems. Dems had a choice: Either do a modest, common sense approach - with GOP support, or build a Tower of Babel. They are building Tower of Babel. How exactly is this a fault of GOP?
