Obama's budget

During the campaign I was excited about Obama's plans for fiscal responsibility and an advancement of his agenda. But right off the bat we saw him push for a huge stimulus, a bailout for the banks and asking taxpayers to help pay the mortgages of people who overextended themselves. Thankfully with his budget, it looks like he is serious about fiscal responsibility after all, with his plan to cut the deficit and let the Bush tax cuts expire. Also, it is heartening to hear a plan to make the budget more transparent, and honestly take the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan into account. Many of us Americans could use a good example of fiscal responsibility from the government, instead of taking out more credit card and mortgage debt than we can afford. Hopefully Obama makes good on his promises to cut the deficit while moving forward with his plans to expand healthcare coverage and help average Americans. He certainly has done enough for the wealthiest Americans by supporting TARP and bailing out banks and automobile executives. It's time for him to show the people that voted for him that they come first. I'm still waiting.
