That's the premise of my post.

That's one of the reasons I was willing to support Romney.

He didn't need the Presidency, but he wanted it. And he was a businessman - not some puppet.

The government better get serious, both sides, about trimming their system, not finding more ways to sustain it.

And good people will get hurt. Hell they are already hurt. I'm hurting, friends are hurting, family is hurting.

But those hard choices need to be for everyone - not just the people, and as of yet, the government hasn't proved they are willing as a unit to make a sacrifice - unless its us on an alter.

Forgive the Old Testament innuendo.


wasn't Romney telling the country that he'd balance the budget in 8 years?

That isn't serious about spending cuts in my book - that is 7 years of deficit spending. (and telling me Obama would be worse is not an acceptable answer to this premise)
