Right, because he is insisting on RESPONSABLE spending cuts... not an easy eacape for Congress back to the status quo. Its completly consistant, if you do away with the big stick that is the sequester, you will never get spending cuts.

Im not denying he wants more tax increases, so do I.
I belive the deficits were necessary to avert more of a fiscal crisis than we had, and now is the time to cut back on that spending. He is campaigning against cuts that would harm us, not responsable cuts. You are the one with your head in the sand.
The President is trying to drag Congress along in his plan to increase revenue, responsably cut spending and reduce the deficit. You can pretned thats not true all you want, but you will be wrong.

Can you give us some examples of "responsible" cuts vs. cuts that will harm us?

Reality check:
The sequester came about as a COMPROMISE last year when the GOP was holding the "fiscal cliff" over everyone's head unless they secured the majority of the Bush tax cuts. Boehner and Ryan are BOTH on record saying they were happy with that compromise.
The sequester was originally put forth as a final option IN THE EVENT THAT THE CONGRESS COULD NOT HAMMER OUT A DECENT COMPROMISE REGARDING THE FEDERAL BUDGET.
To date, the GOP is STILL holding to it's plant to stonewall ANY and ALL proposals by this President's administration that would benefit the people and thus give him a positive legacy (while protecting their out sourcing, union busting, job killing, corporate theft commiting constiuency).
And if anyone cares to remember, a MAJOR contributor to this deficit are the two wars and perscription drug plan that the Shrub and company KEPT OFF THE BOOKS until Obama took office.
Carry on.

In todays political environment, who had the idea means a lot. Our gov't has been run by partisan extremes for so long we have ceased to recognize it.
So who wrote it and pushed is very relevant.
So, sad, so true, one just has to look at the Affordable Care Act to realize this sad fact.

LOL, I'm fine with cutting a lot. I could list a whole bunch of thing.
Bringing the troops home aren't cuts. Talk about our actual budget. What discrectionary or non-discretionary cuts would you deem "reasonable"?
I did not ask what cuts you are fine with.... Still avoiding providing examples??

Dude, restructure medicare and social security.
Cut the federal education budget.
Cut the military budget.
Would you like me to go on?
I'm not the one saying we need to make "reasonable" cuts vs. harmful cuts. You can't even give a damn example, other than the penny, of what a "reasonable" cut is vs. a harmful cut. It's a stupid code word with absolutely no meaning.
