Fox Finally Acknowledges That Romney's Tax Plan Doesn't Add Up

[Mytzlplk]

maybe they needed another laughable Laffer editorial in the WSJ http://uneasymoney.com/2012/08/06/arthur-laffer-anti-enlightenment-economist/ insupport of it, no?

A Fox business host has admitted that it isn't possible to calculate how GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's plan would be paid for.

Independent fact-checkers and experts say that Romney's tax plan, a $5 trillion dollar tax cut that would largely benefit the wealthiest Americans offset by closing undisclosed loopholes, doesn't add up. The Romney campaign has responded by saying one possible way to pay for the tax plan is to cap the total amount of deductions a taxpayer can take. Experts have said that even with such a deduction cap, Romney's plan still doesn't add up.

Republicans have been waging a war on arithmetic for thirty years now. If Mitt Rmoney wins, the war is over, and arithmetic must unconditionally surrender.

The wingers don't care that the numbers don't add up.

It's all about the image....Ward Cleaver versus the uppity black guy.

Varney may be too smart for the average Fox-n-Friends viewer (the least informed of all news audiences).

I saw Wretched Carlson and Brain DillWeed but where in the world was Goober Doocy, the dumbest man on television?

I think that has a great deal of merit Tom. The thing that seems to be missing in all this to me, is that much like with McCain, they thirst for vindication for and validation of their 8 year support for the last stooge they elected.

I think he was helping his son sharpen his stupid skills Bo.
