(CNN) - Rick Santorum evoked the homespun values of hard work, education and family in his speech to the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night, but his math needs improvement.
The former Pennsylvania senator and runner-up in this year's GOP race criticized President Barack Obama during his convention speech for what he called a belief "in government handouts and dependency."

Bet if you check his sweaters, the wool comes from New Zealand, and sewn in China.
since when has Rick Santorum been factual in practically ANYTHING he puts forth? He's preaching to the choir though at the RNC so fact checking will be left at the door thank you very much. What a snob!
Entire GOP is misleading this nation. Bain capital stashed money in cayman island, Swiss, etc shipped jobs to china, India now this nation better know. Do not be stupid like GOP thugs.
Well, well, well what do you know? Another lie from the phony Christian GOP/ Taliban.... I can't believe it's being reported....
OBAMA 2012!
The Republican party is as frightening as ever. Where is W? He needs convention time to convince the undecided voters on how repeating his failed policies will somehow make things better.
Imagine that sanatorium misleads? They are all misleading starting with their built that banner.
Is this is still a surprise? Have you watched the repug ads? About 90% of them lies about the President and definitely lies about what the flip flopper has done.
If Santorum is including Medicare and Social Security recipients as part of the group that is dependent on government handouts, and he wishes to end dependency on government, then the implication is that he wishes to end Medicare and Social Security. I think the people who have paid payroll taxes into these programs for 40 years would have a different opinion as to their dependecy, and the legitamacy of any attempt to end these programs.
As for Santorum, wasn't he dependent on government when he received payments from the local government to home school his children ? But I guess there's a reason why that kind of depency is OK.
In the end we are all dependent on the government in some way. Otherwise, how would we even get to work in the morning ?
And this is a surprise?
