Reply #10: Once again, disappointment,

[Mass]

The first part of the speech was good, with some principles and lines seemingly drawn. I was really hopeful that it was going in the good direction.

Sadly, the second part was about how we need to reduce spending and this would require shared sacrifices. Sorry, but there are a lot of people who have nothing to sacrifice anymore. I am tired of this bipartisan BS. If the negotiations start like that, we will be screwed once again. I guess the main problem is that he announced changes on Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security (there needs to be some on the two first ones), but, aside that he does not want the programs to disappear, there were no guidelines where these changes should occur. Not a good point when the other side has already announced they wanted to privatize the programs and good luck to us.
