In his "State of the Union", Obama, listed for about an hour, frankly, all the challenges and problems that still remain to be resolved in America, but at the same time claimed to "want to win the future and revive the American dream", he also promised increased employment in both the education sector and in the clean energy, but admitted that to do this is a painful savings plan, which contained the phrase and concluded this part of the speech was a masterpiece of political engineering, " we can not conquer the future with a government of the past, "adding that" the current government spending is unsustainable "In short it seems that the government there is another!
The first to go against the tide was the Minister of the Treasury, that Bernanke put Obama as "well regarded" by the public finance, his entourage is a statement game freezes boiling spirits of the staff of the President: "U.S. growth is continuing but it is still too slow and therefore can not significantly improve the labor market "which records an unemployment rate of 9%.
To try to offset a budget that has started to reach a deficit of 1.5 trillion dollars, Obama can not afford not to do some cuts (though not yet specified), the only change-very general - it is freezing for 5 years of the "discretionary spending" (not including the Armed Forces), which in 2010 totaled 538/milioni of dollars for financial analysts, "a drop in the ocean of debt." In short, the disruption of the U.S. budget is so deep that many parties warned us that might seem "a curse": we may go the way of Greece. Michael Gerson writes in the Washington Post. "
And this concept was echoed by the "political", ie the part which is now in the Republican majority in Congress, and whose Speaker (obviously Republican) announced that in ten days the U.S. government could end up paralyzed, that is no longer able to meet its financial obligations, then pay nothing for the millions of civil servants, no funds for public assistance, education, ministries, government agencies and even the Pentagon, all this, he added, did not happen even Greece! This situation is understandable
the defeat suffered by the "democratic" in the midterm elections, the people became aware that the failure is very high and that the word "austerity" is pronounced by the government as a "hot pannicello" who can no an economy that is in heat - even with the growth of the private sector - does not unlock the monster deficits of the budget.
And in fact the message of the Republicans - given the extremist wing of the "Tea Party" - recites a litany that describes a future of tears and blood, and urges the President to start a real recovery based primarily on spending cuts and not a significant increase in taxation of the private sector. The increased
attributed this dramatic situation of the state budget has been identified in the "Health Reform", a measure strongly backed by Obama and the end achieved, but whose costs have bust your budget, without which people will be satisfied under the profile of benefits.
In this regard the President responded with a sentence full of candor: "If anyone has new ideas to make it better and cheaper, to come forward: I am ready to correct it" here is the strength of Obama being able to say these things!
