With these kinds of proposals, the devil is in the details. We're going to examine this realignment closely. We will fight any measure that compromises our needs - now or in the future.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Controversial proposals, once accepted, soon become hallowed.
It seems like we are moving towards something, some kind of point and it is probably going to be an important point in our development or dissolution. That is what everybody seems to be thinking.
So I think it's important to communicate with the people in terms of what the real facts are on these proposals and try to have a discussion and a dialogue that gives people information. I think they're hungry for that rather than just political rhetoric.
We aren't going to agree on everything and there will be other areas where we will be working together.
We are still waiting for the president to introduce a concrete plan. He has just hinted at what he is thinking about doing, but no one has seen a proposal.

No matter how brilliantly an idea is stated, we will not really be moved unless we have already half thought of it ourselves.

It's very difficult to decide. And I'm very open to proposals.
My hope is that we're going to be more strategic and focused as we look for a way to address the long-term deficit and debt issues that are affecting this nation.
