From Addictinginfo:
At an hour-long speech in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Bill Clinton spoke to 2,200 people at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. In an attack on the Republican nominee’s budget plan, Clinton managed to, using a very simple explanation, illicit a roar of approval from those listening.
Consider this: What if you got hired to fill in a hole. I’ve got a six foot hole here, I want you to fill it in for me, and I’ll pay you $25 an hour to do it. So you get a shovel. And I assume you’re going to get some dirt and fill in the hole. But instead, you jump in the hole and dig it deeper! And you say, ‘I need to exercise. I just want to make it a little deeper before I fill it in. That’s the Romney budget. That’s the Republican budget.
As Addictinginfo notes:
That, in a nutshell, really is the budget — “We’re going to cut taxes, cut a couple minor programs (PBS, Planned Parenthood) and then we’re going to wait until we’re elected to try and get bipartisan support for spending cuts to support the tax cuts.”
