G10

1. What seems to be the most important to the president is Social Security and Health Care. He is probably most concerned with these policy areas because Congress is so split on how they should be handled and Obama wants to stress the importance and highlight how much it would benefit the people to put the most money in social security and health.
2. The most notable changes in spending are Social Security and Medicare. Taking care of people's future seems to be of greater need now more than ever. With millions of troops returning home we won't need to spend as much money on the military and can use the money for the populations well being instead.
3. Congress will most likely oppose the spending cuts to the Agriculture Department and Defense Department, which Republicans (who hold the majority in Congress) are generally against. Congress will also not be happy about the estimated $901 billion dollar deficit.
