President Obama has asked us, the American people, to make our voices heard. The Republicans are set on seeing Obama fail at the expense of the country. The Republican plan is entitled A TWO-STEP APPROACH TO HOLD PRESIDENT OBAMA ACCOUNTABLE. This plan, which actually has five steps, is as follows:

1. Cuts That Exceed The Debt Hike
2. Caps To Control Future Spending
3. Balanced Budget Amendment
4. Entitlement Reforms & Savings
5. No Tax Hikes

This is still Cut, Cap, and Balance. The Republican strategy is to obstruct everything President Obama puts on the table. Their plan includes no sacrifice on the part of the rich and corporate America. The Republicans want to slash spending on health-care, education, and nutrition. The Democrats have compromised, and compromised, enough is enough. The President should not even listen to conversations which include cuts to social spending. The wealthy and large corporations must contribute to deficit reduction.
