As you know, I voted for Obama, and I agree that it is scary. USA is now being blamed by the rest of the world for irresponsible spending.
I watched Geitner on the Stepanopolius show yesterday and he didn't leave me with a feeling of confidence. He continues to make the case for not doing enough claiming it's just a short term deficiet until the economy recovers.
I understand that Pelosi has said that anything to do with cuts in entitlement programs is off the table.
From the discussion on Morning Joe this morning, I rather that since the numbers don't add up, they've gone from a 5 year projection to a 2 year projection to make the numbers look better.

Not a happy camper these days.
