Or instead of the constant trolling, you could do some research and learn the details of his plan...

None of this has been a secret, and it doesn't take a genius to figure any of this out.

That was as helpful in explaining how he's going to cover all of those tax cuts as the OP's website was.

He doesn't seriously think he can cut $5T in taxes, does he? :s

No, he doesn't. It is a lie that the Obama and his campaign has been telling. A lie that was debunked by numerous sources, including CNN. A lie that one of Obama's own campaign managers has admitted is not true. But they keep telling the lie, making fake web sites, and pushing this made up "fact" to try to "prove" that Romney hates people who are not rich.

Most informative election 2012 site ever created! thanks OP!

well Obama and friends have yet to pass a budget in 4 years. I'll take any plan over no plan...

So stating results without any method to achieve them counts as a plan now?

Funny how Paul Ryan was asked about this twice during the VP debate and he gave a non-answer.

Yes, because he can describe the entire tax code in the two minutes he is given during debate. And with the time taken away when Biden would interrupt him, laugh like a buffon, and shout like an old man telling kids to get off his lawn, it would leave about 8 seconds.

Why don't we ask Obama or Biden to read off the entire Obamacare law in two minutes? Why can't they do it? And that law is much, much larger than the entire tax proposals that Romney has on his web site.

Politifact would like to have a word with you..

Also, I don't see a problem with the video about Stephanie Cutter. She admits that it's a $5 trillion dollar tax cut, and that some of it will be paid for by closing loopholes, but the problem is there aren't enough loopholes to make up for that $5 trillion, so the money has to come from somewhere.. and if Romney wants to spend an additional $2 trillion on defense, then the only things left for cutting are Medicare, Medicaid, SS, corporate welfare, and social welfare if Romney wants to stay deficit neutral.

Based on the lack of specifics from the Romney/Ryan plan, Bill Clinton is right, the math doesn't add up!

CNN has fact checked it, and it is simply not true. Cutter first said "It will be a 5 trillion dollar tab", then she said "It will not be near 5 trillion dollars." So she doesn't know what she is talking about. Then she tells CNN to prove it - why doesn't she prove it? She is the one making the claims, the burden of proof is upon her to do it. So why doesn't she, she was there on TV she had the chance to, but either couldn't be bothered or it is all a lie, like she admitted it is.

And we do know what does add up - Obama's record. His record adds up to $1+ trillion deficits year over year over year over year even after he claimed that he would cut the yearly deficit by half, and is still claiming he will do it. But that is OK, we need to make up a mythical $5 trillion over 10 years lie.

You know what would fix that? Tax cuts. 20% for everybody.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
