To avoid increasing deficits you don’t have to generate an equivalent amount of revenue. You can also cut an equivalent amount of spending. And that’s what Romney is going to do.




It's a biased study that doesn’t even consider cutting spending.



Really? Huh

Has Romney ever actually given any indication as to what he'd supposedly cut? (other than "Obamacare" and repealing Obama's Freedom Tax or whatever).

AFAIK Romney has said he'll increase defense spending (including more battleships for some bizarre reason) and to maintain benefits for seniors, as outlined in this article on Bloomberg.

How on earth is this study "biased", incidentally? I don't understand. Huh It's basic mathematics.

I think we can conclude that Romney isn't serious about reducing expenditure - for all his many faults, including having the sheer contempt for the public to propose this thing as if it's a reasonable suggestion, he's not an idiot, and he's already admitted that spending cuts in the middle of a massive recession, especially on anywhere near the level that'd be required for this moronic idea to break even, would plunge the country into another recession.

The assumption is wrong. Romney will pay for all of his tax cuts through spending cuts. The deficit reduction will come from increased revenue that will come with revival of the economy.


Yes, yes, yes, rhetoric and "our economy is fuelled by freedom!" platitudes aside, where's the evidence for that claim? Huh What you just posted isn't anything approaching an argument, it's just noises and syllables.
