Oops! Mitt did it again.

Mitt Romney said Tuesday that cutting spending slows growth in the economy -- a rhetorical slip more akin to an argument a Democrat might make than a Republican.
Speaking in Shelby Township, MI, the former Massachusetts governor took a question about the Simpson-Bowles fiscal commission empaneled by President Obama to address the nation's deficit and debt issues. In his response, he said that addressing taxes and spending issues are essential.

"If you just cut, if all you're thinking about doing is cutting spending, as you cut spending you'll slow down the economy," he said in part of his response. "So you have to, at the same time, create pro-growth tax policies."

That sort of comment was sure to raise the eyebrows of fiscal conservatives in the GOP, who have long preached a message of fiscal restraint as a path to economic growth.

[You kip if you want to...]

Mitt telling the truth!? WHAT?

Must be some sort of bug that caused him to switch to general election mode too early.

how is that a slip - everyone agrees that deficit spending increases economic activity in the short run at the expense of long term growth.  the question is whether or not the way the money is being spent pays dividends or is counter productive.

All I know is when asked if they'd walk away from a 10:1 deal(1 dollar in tax increases for every ten in cuts)!, every single one of the candidates raised their hands. So it's not something everyone agrees in, especially in the Republican Party.

I disagreed with that, also.
