And we also talked about the need for this administration to work with Congress to really deal with the biggest challenge facing our budget, and a huge challenge for our economic growth in the future, and that is the unsustainable growth of spending on programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

These programs need to be reformed so that they will be available for our children and our grandchildren. It's a difficult issue, I know, for members of Congress. The people here with me clearly see the problem, and we look forward to working with both Republicans and Democrats to do our duty, and that's to solve the problem.

3. what he meant to say

"we need to give more money to the defense industry and the military. These people without jobs or health care are going to have to find others to give those things to them. Our economic growth is challenged by having nothing but money changers in the temple, and they don't really care about your kids or grandkids. So suck it up, there is not going to be a social services net, cause the war programs need the funds more".
