Another reason we can't trust any Romney budget

In January, Romney said he'd earned $21.7 million in 2011

It took him NINE MONTHS to figure out he was terribly wrong.

Turns out Romney had an adjusted gross income of $13,696,951 in 2011.

Nine months ago, Romney thought he had earned over 50% more than he actually had.

Just for appearances, he forewent $262,500 in tax savings for charitable contributions (which he must have given thinking he'd made much more than he actually had).

If it takes the guy nine months to figure out how much HE made LAST YEAR, how can he be trusted to budget all of OUR money for the next TEN YEARS?

When you're Romney-Rich, "money" is more of a rhetorical device than a tangible asset...
