He's sounding like all of the other rightwingers in both political parties when it comes to "shared sacrifice."
Of course, the rich won't be involved in it.

Obama continues being a worthless piece of shit pushing for "austerity" measures promoted by the likes of the World Bank and IMF.
Both the Obama administration and Congressional leaders seek to portray their drive to curb the deficit as a response to a groundswell of popular support for slashing social spending. Commenting on Geithner’s warning against delay on increasing the debt ceiling, a spokesman for House Speaker Boehner said, “This does not change the fact that the American people won’t tolerate an increase in the debt limit without meaningful cuts and spending reforms.”
In fact, there is growing popular opposition to the plans to cut spending, particularly to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Late Monday, Capitol Police arrested 89 disability rights protesters for occupying a federal office building in a protest against the Medicaid plan proposed by Paul Ryan.
Members of the ADAPT group say the plan would prevent people with disabilities from living independently, forcing them into nursing homes. Some protesters held signs reading, “Block grants kill,” a reference to the proposal to transform Medicaid funding into state block grants.
Morons like Ryan seek to portray people on Medicaid as a bunch of welfare bums, but in fact the vast majority of people on this program are the disabled and elderly in nursing homes. I don't think the dumb shit Ryan even understands Medicare does NOT pay for nursing home coverage.
Almost anyone who is not disabled or elderly finds it impossible to qualify for Medicaid. They go without health insurance or health care access of any kind or if winding up in emergency care, can't pay the bill.
I find his proposal a form of legalized murder.
