Perhaps -- when you're trying to eliminate 1.5 Trillion deficits in an economy that has been destroyed by screwed up economic policy, a 25 or 30 year plan to balance the budget -- while addressing SS & Medicare -- is a pretty damned serious plan imo. I will remind you BTW that the budget deficit was there, left to him by your pal bush, on the first day he took office. Tax revenue collapse and a 2009 BUSH BUDGET left behind a 1.2T deficit...one obama has been trying to fix since...the republicans could have made a 4T deal LAST YEAR...the same deal they will have to make now...only this time the revenue will be nearly double what it was last year.

>>"The simple truth is you cannot conceivably balance the budget without fixing Medicare & SSN"<< BS...in 2000 there was a Budget SURPLUS and there was no "fixing" of the Medicare/SS problem to get the budget in SURPLUS... In fact, it was the Clinton tax increases in 93 plus the growth they stimulated that did it...none of this give tax cuts to the rich and it will trickle down voodoo economics. And when the Surplus was given to Bush, the repugs and those who became teabaggers, they were so "concerned" about the future security of Medicare/SS they gave more tax cuts to the rich to get rid of the Budget SURPLUS at which they were incredibly "successful"...two UNFUNDED wars...there goes $3 to $5 Trillion and an UNFUNDED Medicare Drug deal with no effort to control big pharma costs leading to a Depression. Only President Obama, Liberal economics and the Stimulus saved us from still digging the ditch you goofy repugs put us in. And guess what...the Budget SURPLUS is long gone and what do the nutty repugs say has to be fixed because of repug voodoo economics?...Medicare/SS??? And how to do it?...more voodoo economics and worse yet...privatize it...give it Wall Street and a bunch of super wealthy Insurance CEOs... ! Screw you with your BS.
