This administration has left our nation with huge deficits. We must eliminate them, and I've outlined a three-year plan to do so. But the budget isn't only out of balance in the bottom line, it's also out of balance in its values and priorities. So I've offered plans to tackle the problems of education, unemployment, and long-term care for seniors. There are some who say we can't afford to make these commitments. I say we can't afford not to.
