Obama's plan for a task force working to curb the deficit was shot down. Because obviously the only places we can cut spending are Medicare and Social Security! And the fact that if we don't make changes over the next few years our deficit is projected to be $1 trillion a year doesn't matter. "Yet another indication that Congress is more concerned with the next election than the next generation," said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., a sponsor of the plan. I already said this and am going to say it again, politics have become too much about reelection and not enough about taking action. There is a chance Obama will still create a task force under executive order, but it would not have as much power.
