And to that softball, R could reply, "Who could believe any promise you make about spending cuts, after your promise to cut the deficit by 1/2 in 4 years, but you increased the debt to $16T?"
Can R hit a softball?
One can hope, but I’m not recommending holding your breath.
O :”Look, I am willing to cut spending by $$$$ trillion in return for asking the rich to pay their fair share, just as much as the same tax rates a hard working school teacher must pay, but my opponent has committed himself to not raising any taxes even if he got 10 to 1 in spending cuts.
R, “Who could believe any promise you make about spending cuts, after your promise to cut the deficit by 1/2 in 4 years, but you increased the debt to $16T?”
O :”It was my opponent who vowed to reject a 10 to 1 spending cut deal up front if you elect him POTUS. His promise had nothing to do with me being POTUS. I offered a huge spending cut deficit reduction deal to his House Rs but they all took HIS insane vow to protect the filthy rich at all costs and they all refused it at the go. That is why voters will re-elect me and put Speaker Pelosi back in charge so we can finish fixin America, even for that lower/middle income 47% he says he wont worry about. DA-DA“
