Hint:
        bipartisan
That would force our senior citizens and working families to bear the burden of deficit reduction while the wealthiest are asked to do nothing more. That won't work. We can't just cut our way to prosperity.
Instead, I've proposed a balanced approach, one that makes responsible reforms to bring down the cost of health care and saves hundreds of billions of dollars by getting rid of tax loopholes and deductions for the well-off and well-connected. And we should finally pursue bipartisan, comprehensive tax reform that encourages job creation and helps bring down the deficit.
So we know what we need to do. All the steps I've mentioned are common sense. And, together, they will help us grow our economy and strengthen our middle class.
In the coming weeks and months, our work won't be easy, and we won't agree on everything. But America only moves forward when we do so together – when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations. That's the American story.  And that is how we will write the next great chapter together.
Thanks and have a great weekend.
