JD, haven't really followed this thread, but in light of the election I would think the independents would be fine with it.
It's showing that the victors, who many independents voted for, are following through with making the economy and budget their priority.

There strategy is to let Americans know they are serious about taking action on their promises and not waiting.
Good, the sooner the better, if it's not already too late.

I really wish the economy and jobless problems were the priority 2 years ago, instead of all the time and work being spent on Health-care, which should have been way down the priority list compared to the work needed on the economy.
