If you had any lingering doubts about Romney's commitment to only spend what you have and not to go into debt providing social services, then the last few weeks should have convinced you, he is the person for our financially debt-ridden country. Romney cut about $425 million from the last budget, according to the Globe. He reinstated some of it when more money than expected came into state coffers.
While people may believe in many of the social programs Mitt cut from, does everyone really think that the state should pull out its big credit card to pay for them?
When the state spends in a deficit, they end up having to pay for it with interest later. That reduces the amount of money available later to spend on social programs because it is spent paying off debt.
Every welfare organization should be advocating for more financially responsible government so there is the most money available to them. If they want to also advocate for higher taxes to give their programs more money, so be it. But don't pretend like Governor Romney is taking money away from you when there is no money to begin with and when much of it is for raises and increases in spending as opposed to normal spending.
