The adoption of the flat tax will need massive spending cuts coupled with shifting spending decisions onto the states wherever and whenever possible.
So why do you favor Mitt who calls for massive spending increases? A buck is a buck even when spent to buy guns instead of butter.
Mitt knows the difference between politics and economics. I believe that Mitt, for better or worse, is our best only hope in achieving fiscal sanity before the end of the decade. If we do not have our house in order by 2020, I cannot even imagine what type of poor sight we'll be.
Everyone knows you don't go on a strict diet when you weigh 60 pounds. The same goes for economics. You don't make massive spending cuts when you're in recession or recovery. You only do that when you're experiencing strong growth (What Reagan
should have done after 1984 and what Clinton
did in 1993) and it won't send us into free fall. Ironically, it's Romney who is offering the European Style economic policies, in the form of austerity.
