Common?

I found this list here.

1. Reduce the deficit to less than 3% of GDP by 2015 and chart a course for balancing the budget by 2020
2. Reform our Medicare and Social Security programs to cut costs and ensure their sustainability
3. Simplify our tax code to improve fairness, reduce compliance costs, increase participation, and increase revenues
4. Increase investment in public education, vocational programs, and job retraining to create real jobs and ensure a level playing field for all Americans
5. Reduce our dependence on non-domestic fossil fuels and encourage lower carbon alternative energy sources.
6. Affirm my obligation to put our country ahead of party and personal interests

and I think yeah, that'd be nice... But realistic?  Any one of those - at least, 1 -5 - is a whole 'nother 'health care' issue, with legions on each side.  Not to mention that my definition of what's needed for each, when it comes down to brass tacks, might not be the same as yours.  Is 'chart a course' a way of saying 'slash government?' Is 'cut costs and ensure their sustainability' a way of saying 'and cut Medicare, too?' Does Simplify mean 'reduce taxes'?  All of these have interpretations that I agree with, and interpretations that alarm me.

And yet....
