yes it was. Remember the half billion dollars of Medicare fraud that was assumed to be eliminated to cover the costs.

How can they keep a straight face. Just recently a super committee working for weeks to find a specified amount of spending reductions to reduce the deficit. How did the super folks do? They failed. Not even a single suggestion to have shot down. An out and out failure, with very little coverage or penalty or even a so what.

So does Obama think we the people are dumb enough to buy his cost reduction assumptions. I said it before and I will say it again...he absolutely feels he has addressed an issue when he merely talks about it....then and there...for that moment in time....NOTHING MORE!!!
