24. Did you watch the press conference?

In case you missed it there were no specifics, but Obama said Medicare, Social Security were both on the table for cuts. There are a number of DUers who think he's just bluffing, but he is not. Reagan wasn't bluffing when he dipped into it and neither was Clinton when HE dipped into it.

Based on the previous behavior of both Obama and past presidents, this means serious cuts.

Yet defense gets a free ride! Whoopee!! Kill em all and let god sort em out.
