"Make no mistake, the savings that we are proposing will impact on all 50 states and many districts, congressional districts, across America," Panetta said, spelling out the new strategy. "This will be a test, a test of whether reducing the deficit is about talk or about action." President Barack Obama submits his complete budget proposal to Congress on Feb. 13, but included in Panetta's preview were enough details to stir alarm on Capitol Hill.
