“What Romney is essentially proposing to do is finance a  massive tax  cut by cutting Medicaid, food stamps, housing subsidies  and job  training. In other words, the neediest Americans — and, to a  lesser  degree, federal workers — will be financing a massive tax cut.

In 2000, George W. Bush ran for president   saying ‘I don’t think they ought to be balancing their budget on the   backs of the poor.’ In 2012, amidst a much worse economy, Romney is   running for president saying exactly the opposite. Perhaps that’s why  the stadium is empty.” - Ezra Klein
