Reply #25: What is he really saying? Why is he saying this to progressives?

Is it because he wants us to understand that social programs that actually directly help human beings in desperate need must be cut?

Because it's hard to take him seriously when we are involved in 3 wars and the wealthiest people on the planet recently had a destructive huge tax cut extended for them.

The Bush tax cuts had no positive effect on our economy. The wealthy used that money that they did not need to buy yachts and Jaguars. Ending the Bush tax cuts would make no difference in their ability to survive.

Obama should be talking to them about making sacrifices, not to us.

They are the ones with the money.
