Obama to reveal deficit reduction plan Monday (does this have a thread anywhere?).

If so, could somebody point me to it.

1. I look forward to hearing it

which is what I will do first before making any judgements about the substance of those plans.

2. This is my main concern.

"On Monday, Obama will make public his deficit reduction plan with an expected call for tax reforms and changes to the Medicare and Medicaid government health care programs for senior citizens, the disabled and the elderly."

I have not seen any news for about 4 days & was just curious if anything had been said that I missed.

3. Looking good. I think the Republicans used up all their ammo.

They only had two (essentially terrorist) weapons at their disposal, the budget and the debt ceiling. They were able to threaten to crash the country with those, so Obama had to deal with them. Now Republicans are basically sitting ducks. There is nothing they can say no to in order to crash the plane we're all on. They've run out of box cutters, poor things.
