So let me get this straight
Oct 4, 2012, 4:44 PM
|
|
when asked which programs Romney would cut to balance the deficit and pay for his 4.8 trillion dollar tax cut, the only thing he could come up with is to cut funding to PBS?
Any thing else?
Let's do some math.
480 billion per year in additional tax cuts when we are already in deficit spending
annual federal spending on PBS 22 million.
so we still have $479,978,000,000 of cuts left
basically PBS is .0005% of Romney's tax cuts.
RIP bigbird.

knows that PBS can support itself. It is simply an example of unnecessary government spending.

you fail to see the [point of this. I am asking where the $479,978,000,000 in cuts are going to come from.

We've had 1200+ days without a budget in congress. Why are you giving Obama a pass?

he said he'd "keep the good parts"

and how is he going to create a 'better economy' ?
Tax cuts and deregulation? We already do the first and the 2nd isn't a problem. (Not to mention what Romney "promises" isn't doable and he knows it. That's why he just keeps saying revenue neutral. That's shorthand for "BS"
Here's food for thought with your "better economy" statement...The main job creators (privately held companies) are doing well:

I do not want to hear litmus tests, as a voter I deserve to know what he plans to cut now, not after the election.

well he inherited a deficit, unlike bush before him. I want to hear one good solution how he intends to make up for the additional 20% tax cuts in our deficit. He is adding another half trillion a year and telling us not to worry, cause we should just trust him to figure it out. He has outlined no specifics outside of the paltry 22 million we give to PBS every year.
