We can't get to the $4 trillion in savings that we need by just cutting the 12 percent of the budget that pays for things like medical research and education funding and food inspectors and the weather service. And we can't just do it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
