CORRECTION, forgot to include Ron Paul.
Romney isn’t too bad, he’s THIRD on the list with $16.9 billion in new spending, to McCain’s $6.9 billion. and Ron’s -$150 billion.
I left out Giuliani because he dropped out of the race.
The report makes a snarky comment about Romney being more conservative than McCain but spending more money — but I don’t think we’ve ever accused McCain of not being a conservative on government spending — it’s about the only thing where he IS really solid.
Huckabee is over $50 billion, and both major Democrats are over $200 billion.
I don’t think they are counting the effects on spending of the various candidates’ stances on illegal immigration.
How much money in Federal block grants and Medicaid and Foodstamps would be saved under Romney’s proposal to cut off funds to sanctuary cities ? How much will be saved in SS/M liabilities if amnesty and SS/M enrollment is not given to low-income illegal aliens ?
How much additional spending will there be in those programs under McCain’s, or Hillary’s or Obama’s open borders and amnesty policies ?
