If we've learned one thing it's that trickle down doesn't work. If we just returned to the tax rates for the wealthy that were in effect under Clinton, it would, when combined with the spending cuts proposed by the president, solve our long term budget issues.

President Obama is not today nor has he ever acted in a responsible manner when it came to the budget. He has not put forth a budget unlike the Republicans who did so months ago. He talks of cuts but offers no specifics.
Similarly, there were no budget for the last two budget years when Obama had full control of the House and Senate. If failing to live up to the responsibilities of your office, then Obama is doing a bang-up job. Being an adult requires bringing specific budget proposals to the table, something Obama had never done and his dutiful Dumbocrats will willing follow him off a cliff rather than open their eyes look at what has and is happening.
