Romney knows that promising fiscal restraint is popular, but that as soon as you start specifying programs you are going to cut, you can only lose the support of people who like those programs. That’s why politicians only promise to cut fraud and waste.

Add it’s the Obama campaigns job to fill in the blanks. Just tell people what’s in the Ryan plan and that should take care of it. Romney will either stand by it and alienate voters or deny it piss of conservatives. There already pissed at him for not saying whether or not he’d reverse the president’s immigration order.
