Don’t bother reading Mitt Romney’s op-ed in USA Today on what he’d do about deficits and the debt. I can summarize it for you in one, terse sentence and save you the trouble: eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse and repeal ObamaCare. If he had deliberately set out to be vapid he could hardly have been more so.
I’m not unfavorably disposed towards Romney but stuff like this fits more into the habits of elites that Lawrence Summers complained about in his FT op-ed, overestimating their abilities including their ability to bamboozle ordinary folks, than it is a serious policy position.
Even shorter: bullshit and not gonna happen.
