Well, if you believe the stock assessment, the SSB is
NOT declining quickly, in fact it will rise starting in 2016.
But, FWIW, I support the full reduction next year, not because I think its the best option, but because it is the most prudent move on the table. I would have much preferred any other option that had more than a 51% chance of reaching its goal.
