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.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
