Re: "Huge Deficits May Alter U.S. Politics and Global Power"

Of course! (And, they should, reality can't be ignored for ever.)

Let's make sure that ALL of the spending cuts that are presented in this budget actually get CUT.

No back-sliding by the fans of deficit spending!

This budget projects that the deficit will rapidly decline by nearly *half* in three to four years, (from 2010's $1.6 Trillion deficit, to $1.3T. in 2011, to $0.8T. in 2012, to $0.7T. in 2013).

After which the improvement stalls out.

Well before then we will have to have even more serious medicine enacted to continue the improvement.
