re: #110 palomino

He thinks the Ryan budget is just mahhhvelous. Even though it doesn’t come close to adding up. You simply can’t cut taxes, increase military spending AND balance the budget…at least not without gutting the rest of govt spending.

Exactly. I think deep down he knows it’s a load of shit but he wants this job so bad that he panders to whatever he thinks is popular. I really think that if there were a strong social democratic tradition in this country that Mitt would have pandered to that at one point in his career because he thinks the answer is telling people what they want to hear and then when that position becomes unpopular turning on it and acting like it never happened.
