由有线新闻网（CNN）1月25日进行的民调发现，尽管有多达71%的选民希望政府规模缩小，但81%的人反对削减医疗照顾（Medicare）开支，78%的人反对削减社安金福利，70%的人反对削减医疗补助（medicaid）。
US may not have obligation to pay back its debtors, but it has obligation to its citizens.
No one politician is willing to stand out and tell people that he is not going to keep those obligations. Instead, from president to governors continue to make unrealistic obligations.
As for that reason, US$ is not a sound currency until real changes come. (US military has no power over its own citizens).
