President Obama to appeal to public on fiscal cliff

9. Do you have some ideas to offer?

Cut the bloat, stop subsidizing companies such as oil companies, make corporations pay taxes, streamline programs, raise taxes on everybody who can possibly afford it, even if they are just pitching in a tiny amount, reduce useless spending such as occurs rampantly at the DoD, and yes, even temporarily cut some programs we like until we get the deficit under control (ie cut funding, but with an automatic trigger to start funding again after the deficit is down).

The truth is this deficit is a huge problem, and we are all going to make some sacrifices and feel some pain before its back under control.
