Santorum: The Paul Ryan budget is “a great blueprint,” but it doesn’t cut enough

[WPaCon]

He must have been misquoted.

As some FReepers like to remind us, he is a big government socialist, possibly even a communist. /s

[cripplecreek]

The problem we still face is the fact that no one wants to take the blame for cutting even the most minimal things like bike trails and crap like that.

[GeronL]

If Santoum is a fiscal liberal then Paul Ryan must be a socialist in good standing with the COMINTERN

[GeronL]

These Republicans can’t even bring themselves to cut NPR and grants to La Raza and ACORN and stuff

[Peter from Rutland]

Just when I lose hope he pulls me back in.

Its a mess. For every $100 million in cuts proposed you have to fight your own party for every dime and you're lucky to get $10 million in cuts. Meanwhile more spending is being proposed elsewhere. I was amazed when My congressman got $20 million of the $50 mil he asked to get cut from the endowment for the arts. He's working on cutting OSHA spending now.

When it comes right down to it, we need to cut all unconstitutional spending and let the people decide in their own districts decide what they want to spend their own money on.

[GeronL]

first thing- eliminate grants and funding of non-government organizations. end all corporate grants and subsidies.

[BibChr]

But he wants to spend more money chasing after porn?

Not saying it’s a bad or a good idea, just saying... so what are you going to CUT, Rick?

I don’t feel like I even understand where he is.

As William F. Buckley used to say, We can't do worse by picking 535 people out of the phone book to put in Congress.

[Lazlo in PA]

Santorum for President Ping List.

FReepmail “Antoninus” to be added or removed.

[GeronL]

I think 535 people chosen from the phone book would probably ask “How much do we have to spend?” as the first question. These professionals don’t care, they will spend whatever they want.

[Domangart]

You can not trust anyone who said it is good but I want more. It never happens.

[GeronL]

Ryan’s budget is mostly less increase in the growth, not cuts.

[Lazlo in PA]

But he wants to spend more money chasing after porn?

He just wants to enforce laws that are on the books than making it up as they go along. How is that going to cost the Justice Dept more money?

What the he!! is the difference in the two "opposing" party's then?

The time they take to socialize us?

[Raider Sam]

Is he ready to cut from SSI, Medicine, or Defense? If so, then hurrah for Santorum. If not, then its just rhetoric.

[BfloGuy]

Just when I lose hope he pulls me back in.

Yeah, me, too. But then he does something like tell the Puerto Ricans they have to start speaking English and I'm reminded of what a little smarty-pants he really is.

[q_an_a]

geez - I know loads of women that would like to go back and take that reliable guy, the one who did not make her weak in the knees but treated her very well. That is the same story with cutting government - START SOMEPLACE. Then revisit and cut more. Do that every two years and you might have a happy marriage of conservatives and elected politicians. (lol about marriage and it’s partners.)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That's nice, Ricardo.

Where's your budget?

Oh. You don't have one. I see.
