Romney Takes Swipe at Ron Paul's Budget Blueprint

Such diversity between Romney and Obama!

Romney is basically running on Obama’s platform with the only difference being he is substituting Romney platitudes and insipidities for Obama platitudes and insipidities.

"Cutting the federal budget by a trillion dollars isn't taking it OUT of the economy. It's putting it INTO the economy."

(Yes, hartcave beat me to posting the underlying point. B-) )

I really like this article a lot and hope many people see it. I heard on TV tonight that he may be considering Santorum for VP. It scared me.

Romney has given us the starter, can we expose him now, for the good hair no brains Keynesian Military industrial complex puppet that he is ?!!

He's just says what he needs for votes...

Romney : "College Loans - Yea I support holding the lower interest rate and taxing S-Corps. Gay Marriage - yea I can support that. But I will put by conservative shoes on once I am in the white house."

Romney is not a conservative, has no conviction and is spineless. He could very well be more dangerous than Obama.

A video morphing Romney's Face to Obama's Face would be good for a laugh.

He is selling whatever he thinks you'll buy. Only a damn fool thinks his promises mean anything. So exactly what credibility does he think he has to be taking shots at anyone?

I am of the opinion that at least double that will be needed to to remedy the situation.

ie. look at all these gas guzzling public vehicles for instance that public employees probably get to take them home. They should use their own vehicles like Pizza delivery drivers and hand in their mileage for reimbursements or however they do it.

...not to mention all the maintenance on these vehicles and insurance.

Put up or shut the hell up you chicken sh*t!!!! I'd love to see a debate!

“The reason,” Romney explained, “is taking a trillion dollars out of a $15 trillion economy would cause our economy to shrink [and] would put a lot of people out of work.”

If less government spending causes the "economy to shrink," then more causes it to grow, right? So...dear Mittens...why even cut spending at all? O, right, you speak out of both sides of your mouth constantly, and think (rightly it seems) that the masses will be too dense to notice the obvious contradictions.

to his Leftist bent.

Sounding more like Obama every day.

The mathematical proof is in the independent study by the CRFB.

From what I've seen throughout this primary, Mitt never usually references Ron Paul in his speeches. He is now because he is getting a bit worried about Paul gaining the traction that he is. Subtle comments like this from Mitt gives us a narrow insight into Mitt's thought process.

All I have to say is, thank you Patriots for all you have done, all you are doing, and all you are planning to do for the rest of your lives regarding the rEVOLution!

Ron Paul has worked his entire career to see what he is finally seeing across America, and it all makes it worth it to him - I guarantee it.

It is quite informative and a nice comparison between Romney and Paul's economic plans. showing how ridiculous Romney is and how plausible and beneficial Paul's plan is ^^
From the article:

"For all his vaunted business acumen, Romney has apparently forgotten that the government cannot spend $1 trillion without first taking it from the private sector. Therefore, if the government fails to spend that money, it is not being taken out of the economy; it is merely being left in the hands of its rightful owners. As a result, it gets put to use meeting people’s needs and improving their standard of living. When the government takes it, however, it is used to meet politicians’ desires for reelection by redistributing wealth and rewarding political cronies. One trillion dollars left in the private sector will do infinitely more good than that same cash will do when confiscated by government.

That Romney believes money is better spent by bureaucrats than by businessmen is evident from his own budget blueprint. Romney, says the Times, “has laid out a fiscal plan that aims to cap federal spending at 20 percent of GDP and bring the budget into balance by 2020,” taking four more years than Paul to balance the budget and leaving spending as a higher percentage of GDP (Paul has proposed limiting it to 15.5 percent).

"Yet Romney’s plan, unlike Paul’s, is light on specifics; and by starting with very modest objectives, he is likely to achieve next to nothing once the necessary political compromises occur. Moreover, even if he were to get everything he claims to want, the national debt would still grow $2.6 trillion by 2021, according to U.S. Budget Watch. Paul, by contrast, would actually reduce the debt by $2 trillion, the organization calculates"
