Obama banks on bipartisan talks to solve budget crisis

Grappling with a budget $1.6 trillion Family Guy dvdout of balance, and the specter of Medicare headed towardLie To Me dvd insolvency in Dexter dvd2029 followed by Social Security in 2037, the president said an "Obama plan" Army Wives dvdwouldn't help as much mad man dvdas aCheap DVD "negotiation ncis dvdprocess."

Negotiations have worked best over the past 30 years on the toughest fiscal policy issues — the budget, taxes, health care and Social Security:
•Reagan tried and failed to overhaul Social Security in 1981. Only when he joined with Democratic House Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill in 1983 was potential insolvency averted.
•George H.W.Bones dvd Bush worked withHouse MD dvd congressional Democrats in 1990 on a deficit-reduction agreement that included both spending cuts and tax increases. Bush acted boldly to accept tax hikes he had vowed to oppose — but paid a political price at the polls in 1992.
•Clinton tried to force through Congress his own prescription for the nation's health care cost and coverage problems in 1994, and it ended in a debacle, even with his fellow Scrubs dvdDemocrats in control. His 1993 deficit-reduction Doctor Who dvdplan, heavy on taxes, was more successful because he worked with Congress — but it cost some House Democrats their seats. The issues helped Republicans take over Congress in 1995.
•George W. Bush sought to overhaul Social Security in 2005, partially by allowing workers to create private investment accounts. Democrats trashed the plan, and it died in Congress.
