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.

I think people better wake up to the media and their shortcomings and bias. At this point, and it could change, you will only see Romney on tv IF he makes stupid remark or they will show him blasting Obama and then follow with a show to criticize that. You will see Obama glad handing and making speeches that sound as presidential as possible.
On here the posters go after Romney for specifics but never ask what Obama is going to do to improve his performance or are we to accept his program to be just give me more time.
It is much too early to get too specific. Let the convention go on...let that be the beginning of the real campaign and hopefull until then Romney can at least tread water, if the media allows that, then the debates hopefull will showcase the two men for what they truely are.
As long as Romney stays honest and shows Obama to be the twister and liar that he is, he will be just fine. He may not win...it will depend on what the networks decide and I wish I were just being funny, but I believe that to be true. Look at this board...you can almost tell what they watch or what tweeter feed is making up their post...that is a shame
I will than ask you what Obama's exact plans are for the economy ?
And on tax reform...to be honest I forgot...I did not go all over his website but if you do any reading......TAX reform is almost the total basis for the Ryan budget
