Clever I will give you, too clever actually..."transparent"
It will be all that clever that takes down the whole system before we know it. Cant dig your way out of a hole no matter how deep you go.

Our deficit will be cut in half in 10 years - with zero change to current policies, including Medicare and Social Security and tax rates - after the Bush tax cuts expire.

That is the thing I'm mad about most regarding the president, he kept those. The unfunded Bush tax cuts were the major driver of our deficit. The wars can be over, those expenditures eliminated, and the unfunded Medicare can be readily corrected, too.

But Bush decimating our income with his unfunded tax cuts, the money we use to pay for what was already in place, without eliminating anything that money was paying for, was devastating to this country.

And you can see how this, other than the Recovery Act, is Obama's biggest expense, too.

That is shown on this chart, which has the size of the blocks relative to their financial worth:

Deficit in half is true believer talk, you cannot increase spending and budget for deficits and expect the total to decrease. I know you are a Dr. but that is just basic math.

FTFY. Has nothing at all to do with "belief".
