   How can you fill the deficit, and how can you pay off the debt that came from Iraq War, and Trickle Down nonsensical theory? How can you make the Social Security, and Medicare, etc, all the needed entitlements solvent? You need to raise the taxes on who ever make more than 1 million dollars. Are you told by idiot like Cris Christy? Do not believe....Obama2012.

   The president doesn't make te laws. That would be up to CONGRESS

   He can suggest, but it doesn't mean he'll get everythng he wants, same as other presidents. Promises tell you what they'd LKE to do.

   Yep. Cut taxes, increase military spending, protect social security and medicare, AND balance the budget. These are all Romney promises... and there is no way he can keep them – it's simple mathematics. There isn't enough left after the military, SS, Medicare, and interest on the debt to cut and pay for new tax breaks, increased milirary spending, AND close a $1B deficit. Mitt is lying. We will all be taken for a ride on his promises – probably in a dog kennel on the roof of his car.

   Eventually with all these tax cuts, and suggestions of tax cuts, this country isn't going to have enough money to operate, let alone pay our politicians. Now there's some cuts I'd like to see. The President's salary as well as that of congress cut in half, no more health care benefits and pension plans. Just like they expect from the rest of us. How about it, folks?

   Most people who are middle class have a federal tax rate near 20% already. Lowering it to 20% is a tiny amount because that's very close to what they're already paying. His plan would change the rate for high income earners from 35% to 28% which is a huge gift to rich people.

   It's interesting to go to congress dot gov and read the various 'fair' tax proposals. In many cases, when you read the details you find there is nothing fair about them except the title.

   It seems that Romney has only ONE way of seeing elections: Something to be BOUGHT.

   Whether via advertising and super-PACs,
   Or by promising lower taxes for everyone.
   What's next? $2 gas?

   ...and that "suggestion" is what is known as a budget, which is a framework for government fiscal affairs. If the budget is passed by Senate and House, then Congress must work out the details of keeping stuff running within that framework. If they do not pass a budget, then they are free to work out the details for themselves. The latter case of Congress not passing a budget opens the door for one side to "defund" programs that they do not like, or conversely to overfund programs that they do like, like tax cuts, pork, and defense spending. Sound familiar?

   Rudy NYC – Not sure why you bothered correcting GI Joe's comment. He doesn't get it and doubt he ever will. On the other hand, thanks for the clarification so others won't mistakenly follow blindly down that path.
