At his Las Vegas townhall, Mitt Romney laid out his budget deficit priorities (as well as some other issues, so skip to the 12 minute mark). Let's match them up with mine.
Budget Category | Share | Romney Priorirties | My Priorities |
---|---|---|---|
Defense | 20% | No cuts, redirect waste to boots on ground, modern equipment, updated air force, and larger navy | Reduce overall defense spending as our troops return from overseas, double the Navy Seals |
Discretionary | 20% | Pull way back, cut dramatically | Review program by program, keep the effective ones, cut the ineffective |
Entitlements | 60% | Put on pathway to sustainability | Work on cost containment now, not changes that will only cut outlays 10 or 50 years from now |
