Surely, you jest.
  • More importantly, how will Romney propose to pay for increased defense spending while still moving towards a balanced budget and reducing the national debt? We'll find out very quickly whether ANY political party actually embraces the arithmetic of budget balancing. Being a politician is really easy when you have (our) open checkbook.




How will Willard pay for it? Simple. Cut taxes. Isn't that the Con answer to everything? But, there is very little reason to be concerned over Willard as POTUS. It won't happen. There is only one state where Willard and The President are tied.
