    No, just pointing out that liberals most common answer for anything is avoidance of an answer. Avoid, deflect, misdirect, change the subject, or lie, is the liberal way.

    November will prove it to have been the WRONG way.

    and also how he is any different than Obama since they are both members of that evil organization the council on foreighn relations and he was invited to attend the bilderbergers meeting who is deciding if Romney should be the next president or if to keep Obama in office.

    "Well because, if you take a trillion dollars for instance, out of the first year of the federal budget, that would shrink GDP over 5 percent. That is by definition throwing us into recession or depression. So I'm not going to do that, of course," Romney said

    The current national debt is going to reduce the growth in the GDP by 1/3rd indefinately according to a 2009 CBO estimate. That's a lot worse than a 5% one year loss.

    And so the Lefties mindset says that any money not spent by the Government just disappears from the Economy altogether?


    What about the Economic Bonuses achieved by having MARKETs rather than Government Programs determine what is a efficent investment?


    Have we so forgotten the power of the invisable-hand of capitalistic competition that this sort of pro-socialist propaganda works?


    I think the left underestimates the American People.

    I didn't see anything in what Romney said that would suggest that he believes government spending or that he would continue the government spending so as to add to the GDP. Romney is just saying that he wouldn't make cuts...that's cuts during this critical time of national debt crisis. Stop trying to put words in Mitt's mouth that are in no way true.

    A rewrite of the tax code would SAVE a trillion dollars. We give away a trillion dollars to people that have earned and contributed nothing, just in the income tax code.

    I suggest you listen to the evil Democrats a bit more.
    First you have to get rid of your propaganda 'tax and spend' BS and think for yourself.
    Democrats do want to cut spending, after the economy recovers, they have said this from the outset.
    Biggest problem for the cons is that they refuse to cut defense, despite the fact that defense is a black hole for tax dollars and is in fact nothing more than corp welfare.

    Written for the most part by conservatives.

    Horse crap. The tax code has been messed with since 1986 when CONSERVATIVES rewrote it an simplified it. Since then politicians of every party affiliation have been trying to buy votes with loopholes and breaks.

    We, the people of the USA, need to throw OUT the tax code and start over. We HAVE done this a few times in history, it is time again. That is part of b.o.'s hand picked bi-partisan commission's report to him. Redo the tax code, with LOWER rates for everyone but no loopholes for anyone. b.o. rejected that report, approved by both parties, because it would require all wage earners to pay SOMETHING as opposed to 51% paying nothing today while the rich 100% finance the nation.

    It would hurt too much to simply cut for the sake of cutting. You will have more people living in the street if you did that. It's best if we froze it at currently levels and slowly weened people off of handouts. Going cold turkey would kill too many people.

    It's a moot point. There will be no big spending cuts. Actually, there will be no reduction in the amount we're spending. Perhaps a re-alignment of priorities and perhaps a reduction in the amount of new debt but a reduction in spending won't happen.

    Cutting spending is the only answer to start with. Slash the salaries for congress and all government employees that are "appointed" by a sitting president also. Reel-in our war-like tendencies as well and stop trying to buy friends (giving other nations billions to "help them").

    There will never be spending cuts. We're in the final stages of collapse... all that's left is to rearrange the deck chairs for another 10 years or so.

    Eventually, especially as Obamacare kicks in, the debt will sink the dollar, our credit will be kaput, and the peasants will finally realize how stupid they've been - and will then of course blame somebody else, burn some cars and buildings, and ignorantly clamour for some left-wing savior to impose tyranny on them and make it all better.

    Amerikans are complete and utter fools.

    There are old people out on the streets starving right now, so you might change that to read "and putting MORE old people out on the street to starve, etc." And it's not as though Reagan would never close mental hospitals and throw rejects out on the street to starve. Oh, wait a minute. He DID do that. Time was when when we had only two divers per dumpster. Now we got five to six per dumpster. The competition is fierce out there.
