Any thoughts? Here''s the article on the Washington Post:

It''s not without its flaws, but I see that Obama has all of his ducks in a row--he knows where the money is coming from, and he has plans on how to spend it. His decisions regarding the deficit are ambitious, but I think it''s a good idea to try and take care of that deficit before it becomes too large to overcome. I''m glad to see that increased healthcare access/coverage is included--with the job losses right now, many retirement or near-retirement aged Americans are in a tight spot insurance-wise, and this should help them greatly.
