I know the spending freeze is going to be unpopular, but... I can see his reasoning for doing it, just like I could see the reasoning when McCain proposed it on his campaign. America has run itself into debt, though I also feel the debt has been slightly exaggerated as well.

... $3 trillion deficit may be exaggerated in some ways, but it's enough to show we're way more in debt than we were a few years ago. And part of the reason is because Obama's plans initially were to feed the buckling economy money that we don't have and then take it from the taxes, as I understand it. Which is fine. If it wasn't a temporary solution. That he's stopping and seeing that this is not helping and only delaying some of the problems is a good thing, but I kind of worry about having a total freeze of spending at this point. To me, that sounds like cutting a druggie who's been getting hits more often than not getting cut off cold-turkey. The economy won't like not having a leg to stand on anymore. But. Well. Learned helplessness might be a factor here.

I don't know.

Though I am kind of relieved to hear about the college tax being cut. Damn good thing when the prices are going out of control.
