Why? No one else has.
Bachmann didn’t.
Cain didn’t.

When talking about aggregate budget cuts, the standard timeframe is over the course of 10 years. For folks immersed in actual policy issues, this is a given, an unspoken assumption.

Only a liar or an ignorant neophyte would say otherwise.

Next they’ll try to spin it as ‘Perry too poor to be President’.

His pilots make more than he does, for cryin out loud.

“I am pretty sure he was talking about over 10 years.”

Then he should have said it, instead of using the number that some handler programmed into him.

“Perry was referring to what he has calculated to be the cumulative difference over seven fiscal years between his budget plan and President Obama’s, Katherine Cesinger, a spokeswoman for the campaign said after the event. It would be accomplished through spending cuts, she said.”


Just as i thought, Perry did not make a mistake at all, but the article criticizing him did, 1.5 million?

They are scared to death of both Perry and bauchman and will do anything to make them look bad, we know what they are and that is socialists, so we had better put into office the ones they hate the most, i will not be like Hanity and Rush although i am on the same side they are,( i think )i will say who i am for and that is the ones the news media is most against. Perry for president.

The lamestream media isn’t going to get the opportunity to get between Perry and the people he’s visiting and asking to approve and support his plans.

I kind of like it. The FedMob can pay us all back with interest for ripping us off all these decades.

3.7 Trillion minus 5 Trillion = -1.3 Trillion... this means that the Federal agencies have to pay back the Treasury 1.3 Trillion dollars to balance the books... I like this plan!

and it will continue to happen until:

1) the GOP and candidates fight back....as Gingrich has.

2) the GOP and candidates point out the sheer hypocrisy of the criminal liberal media and there constant shilling for ayatollah obama despite his countless gaffes....as Gingrich has...

***Hey, if he can figure out a way to cut $5 Trillion don’t stop him. The Dems have for years found ways to spend more than we take in. Why not try it the other way for once?**

Great Idea.....Perry would get my vote if he could pull that off....

I hope they don,t, but it amazes me how they can get some of the so called conservatives to fall for their crap.

Perry appears to have done a very good job in Texas, I make 17 dollars an hour where i am at now, i could go to Texas and make 25 to 30 dollars an hour.

Turn perry loose as president and get the socialists out of control and we could get back to what this country is capable of.
