Remarks at the Club for Growth

“Liberals urged me to raise taxes, but I knew that the solution to a budget deficit is not to find ways to raise more revenue; it is to cut spending. So I eliminated and combined duplicative and wasteful agencies and programs. That laid the groundwork for what followed: four years of balanced budgets. One commentator said that I didn’t just go after the sacred cows, I went after the whole herd. And when I left office, Massachusetts had 600 fewer state workers than when I took office.”

Commentary from Ramesh Ponnuru with which I largely agree. Of all the Republican candidates, Mitt has the most concrete economic platform. However, it’s still missing something that would cause people to rally around him. What do you think?
