Romney is not proposing a ‘tax cut’. He’s opposing Obama’s tax increase!

Jesus, the Democrats are stupid!

I really like the phrasology of ‘costing the government’ when in actuality it is costing the taxpayer since government does not generate revenue.

But that is newspeak...

Democrats are not stupid. They are experts at demagogy, lies and deception.

$5 Trillion dollars is a lot of money, eh?
(Odd who that is almost exactly how much BHO has skyrocketed our national debt in just the last 3 or 4 years.....for all those “shovel ready jobs” that never materialized...)

Incidentally, where did all the money go (or, who has it?)
Just curious, since we have to pay for it.
Just askin, yknow...

"Five trillion dollars is a lot of money, even for Washington," he said.

This from the guy who racked up 6 trillion of debt in four years.

Mother of God...

That may be true, but Americans are “tired of being tired”. Obama?Biden to be retired in Jan 2013.

So he’s proud of his 5T in debt rather than ashamed?

he is truly off his rocker. But what can we expect from a guy who idolizes his drunk absent failure of a father who believed that taxes should be 100%.

Lets not lose sight of the fact that federal tax reciepts last year were a bit shy of $5 trillion...they were $2.3 trillion.

Barry is just pulling crap out of his backside, and stuttering while doing it.

Maybe TOTUS went back to Chicago and left him all alone.

You are correct.

The Democrats know just how to phrase the lie they tell so their idiot voters will believe it.

You are correct in that “intelligent” Americans are tired of lies. However then I think of how many Americans are the product of our public schools run by teacher’s union. I am sure you are well aware our students lag almost every industrialized country. And we spend far more per student than almost any other country. Which is why Obama easily defeated McCain/Palin. Intelligent people would have seen this dude a mile away as almost all here on FR did.
