Now that the field is clear and Romney is the nominee let's take a look at his proposals on fixing the economy......
Sound familiar?????
Where have we heard that before????
He missed a perfect opportunity.
You don't often hear the hard truth from the GOP.
Another GOP truth teller!!
More tax cuts without offering a way to pay for them. Good idea!!!! That will sure fix the deficit.
Uh-huh. And if you believe he can do all that and still balance the budget........
No shit......
PROMISES, PROMISES: Questions about Romney vows to cut taxes, expand military, balance budget - The Washington Post
Romney says he wants to put the nation on a path to a balanced budget while also cutting an array of taxes, building up the Navy and Air Force and adding 100,000 active-duty military personnel.
Sound familiar?????
I have three major ways that we can get ourselves to a balanced budget, he told voters this month in Warwick, R.I. Number one is to eliminate some programs. Stop, eliminate them. Not just slow down their rate of growth. But look at programs and say, Too many, too big, too expensive, too ineffective, get rid of it.
Where have we heard that before????
Romney has shown little willingness to cut popular programs so far. He joined President Barack Obama, and bucked some House Republicans, by backing an extension of low college loan rates for middle-income students, a $6 billion government cost.
He missed a perfect opportunity.
You campaign in fiction, and govern in fact, said Tom Davis, a former congressman who headed the Republicans House campaign committee from 1998 to 2002.
You don't often hear the hard truth from the GOP.
Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-Ohio, said Romneys proposals are aspirations more than firm promises.
Another GOP truth teller!!
Romney calls for a host of tax cuts. But independent analysts say they will worsen the deficit unless offset by deep and politically unpopular spending cuts.
More tax cuts without offering a way to pay for them. Good idea!!!! That will sure fix the deficit.
Romney would keep the Bush-era tax cuts, and further reduce all marginal income tax rates by 20 percent. He says he would lower the corporate tax rate, eliminate the estate tax, push a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution and make $500 billion in unspecified domestic discretionary spending cuts in 2016.
Uh-huh. And if you believe he can do all that and still balance the budget........
Whether these campaign ideas are called proposals, aspirations or promises, they are easier to talk about than to achieve.
No shit......
