Fiscal Frauds

Think Progress has some pretty awesome video of republicans detailing how they can keep tax cuts from driving up the deficit by being specific about spending they want to cut.

I know - you had the point of that first sentence figured out before you were done reading it. Of course they didn't. The liberal mainstream media is asking Boehner, Pence, and Cantor - the most vocal of the fiscally demanding republicans - where they would cut spending. None of them have answered.

They can bitch and whine all they want about Obama, but they know - just like we know - that you have to cut the big ticket items - defense, social security, Medicare, etc - if you want to seriously reduce the deficit. Yet, not one of them have come forward with a specific plan. But they sure yell a lot.

The question they should be asking, is which presidents in modern history have cut taxes and reduced spending? Can they hold Obama to a standard set by republicans? Because by my last count, they'd have to go all the way back to Nixon.

C'mon boys, give us specifics - tell us where you are going to cut spending that would bring the deficit down.
