Here is a link to the transcript of President Obama's speech on deficit reduction. The link is directly from the White House website and includes video of the speech as well. With a proposed $1 trillion in tax increases (all you wealthy students hang on to your wallets!), how does this compare with Congressman Ryan's proposal? Compare, contrast and draw your own conclusions.

I like Fareed Zakaria's take on the budget debate. He analyzes both proposals, and offers praise and criticism of both. It seems the Obama budget plan is his favorite, but it is still flawed.

Thanks Curtis for the link. I kept trying to to read Obama's speech but i kept spacing out after a page so It was nice to have Mr Zakaria break it down.
