Republicans have become very good at bending the truth to support their worldview and help get them elected. But sometimes the lies are so big the media actually feels compelled to call them out. And the Wall Street Journal, of all outlets, did the job yesterday (Twitter) when presidential candidate Mitt Romney claimed that he would reverse the military "cuts" instituted by Obama. The exact quote:
"As President, on Day One, I will focus on rebuilding America’s economy. I will reverse President Obama’s massive defense cuts. Time and again, we have seen that attempts to balance the budget by weakening our military only lead to a far higher price, not only in treasure, but in blood."
The problem? Well, let's take a look at the numbers ...
Hmm, the GOP is often pretty bad at math, but this seems a little ridiculous.
