propose a budget that will reduce government spending beyond any increase in taxes to create a reduction in the deficit.

This is an opportunity for President Obama to show real leadership and an opportunity to bring parties together in solving budget and deficit problems. It's time to stop blaming anyone but himself for any impass. With a 16+ trillion dollar deficit, there should be great attention in reducing the deficit. Any budget proposals should have more reductions in government spending than increases in taxes with a net result of less spending than revenues. This petition calls on President Obama to bring all parties to do what all americans know what needs to be done in spending less than incoming revenues.
