President Obama’s ten-year budget proposal has drawn fire from both Republicans and Democrats for cutting too much and increasing the deficit. We have no idea why everyone’s complaining, because the budget outline shows that even while he’s trying to get the U.S. out of a mess that he didn’t start, Obama’s doing exactly what he said he’d do: cut ridiculous military spending, tax the rich, give breaks to the middle class, fund education and research, and scrap that insane Bush-era promise to put us back on the moon by 2020. So kwitcherbitchin!

Health care legislation is assumed and provided for in Obama’s budget outline. But with health care reform champion Senator Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts seat taken over by some sexy-ass punk who voted to filibuster the current health care bill, the 60-seat majority needed to pass the bill in the Senate has been reduced to 59. To try to woo one of the opposition, bill negotiations are flying so fast that even the press can’t keep up. Americans are now doubtful that the reform will pass, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed. After all, health care reform might help solve that deficit problem you’re all whining about.
