Ron Paul is the exception. No one is surprised, I'm sure.
Spend, spend, spend. Cut. Spend, spend, spend. Cut. Spend, spend, spend.
Doesn't sound any different than the current occupier of the White House.
Or the previous.
Debt Boosted Under Leading Republicans’ Plans, Report Says - Businessweek
The plans of Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney would each add trillions of dollars to the debt over the next decade, according to an analysis released today by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget in Washington. The Republican contenders criticize President Barack Obama for spending programs that contributed to a trillion-dollar budget deficit.
Former House Speaker Gingrich would add the most, with tax- and-spending policies that would increase the debt by $7 trillion by 2021, the report said. The proposals of Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, would add $4.5 trillion, the analysis said. Both would push the debt to more than 100 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product.
Former Massachusetts Governor Romneys plan would add $2.6 trillion, the group said, though it noted the estimate is less certain because many of the details of his tax proposals are vague.
Spend, spend, spend. Cut. Spend, spend, spend. Cut. Spend, spend, spend.
Doesn't sound any different than the current occupier of the White House.
Or the previous.
Only Representative Pauls plan would more than cover the cost of his tax cuts with spending reductions, the group said. Paul has proposed $5.2 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade, and $7.5 trillion in reduced spending, which would cut the debt by 2012 by more than $2 trillion.
