A good speech is telling America that sacrificing means the Government won't give you freebies?
That is what he just said in that video.
I don’t get your point. Yes, millions of Americans are getting freebies and benefits of all kinds, and one “sacrifice” that’s needed is to give them up in order to save the fiscal integrity of our country.
I can’t think of another sacrifice government is entitled to, other than military service and paying taxes.
If you don’t like to think of cutbacks as a sacrifice, that’s fine but it’s common for conservatives to speak in those terms.
