Balancing budget is no radical idea
I find it interesting that President Obama is blasting the GOP as “radical” for their ideas on how to balance the budget. What is radical is the idea of no more free rides, balancing the budget and letting people keep more of what they make. Another radical idea would be to get rid of the politicians’ Cadillac health care benefits and enroll them with private insurers and then see how fast the system gets fixed.
And upon further reflection, it was not so long ago that it was a “radical” idea to think of an African-American as President. I guess all radical ideas deserve a chance.
