There's a fine line in being too specific so you can't be too flexible, and being too vague in being specific and people not thinking it's meaningful.
Near-term deficits are temporary and manageable if - and only if - we keep spending in check, the tax burden low and the economy growing.
The budget is tight, and that is exactly where we want it to be and where we need it to be.
Certainly accountability of government is what people are clamoring for; they want to know that when lawmakers make a promise or a proposal, you can actually accomplish it.
I am pleased with the direction we are moving in.
