Not endorsing but just a flavor...

Just curious...just an excerpt...
Good post, Bucco. I'll have admit, my criticism of Romney's campaign is based more on his stump speeches and TV interviews. I didn't go back to his website. This is an excellent outline of his top level plans. I know he knows how to do the arithmetic and this proves it. The examples he uses to demonstrate how he would cut spending is peanuts though. The total of all he lists amounts to less than 1% of spending, while hs top line plans are far, far more aggressive. And from what you've posted from his website, there's no mention of tax reform. I know he knows better than to think overall fscal reform can be accomplished without increasing tax revenues.

I wish he would begin to share some of this specificity with the public, although as noted here, it Woukd very likely cost him lots of votes. But sooner or later, he'll have to lead the public to the eventual pain tt we're all going to have to suffer to achieve fiscal reform.
