The Best Way to Finish the Job of Deficit Reduction

Yesterday, in a statement from the Briefing Room, President Obama explained that while our economy is headed in the right direction, looming automatic budget cuts will cost jobs and slow down our recovery. Those deep, indiscriminate cuts aren't the best way to meet the $4 trillion in deficit reduction needed to stabilize our debt.

The best way to finish that job of deficit reduction? A "balanced mix of spending cuts and tax reform," the President said.
