Obama to speak, market sells off....

President Obama is expected to propose today $3.6T of deficit cuts over the next decade, including entitlement cuts and tax hikes on corporations and individuals. Medicare and Medicaid would both see reduced budgets, while Social Security would remain untouched. The proposal is unlikely to pass Congress because of Republican opposition to tax increases.

More of the same here....futures point to a lower open.
