without revealing ANYTHING. Truth be told, yes Romney will not disclose what he will cut to make his budget "revenue neutral" as per his running mate Paul Ryan.

To be honest though, neither will Obama have a frank discussion with regards to exactly what changes to Medicare and Social Security he supports. I "suspect" he favors raising the retirement age, and moving to a chained CPI, neither of which I support, but he has yet to go on the record with anything more informative than "changes need to be made". So, what changes to these programs do you support Mr. Obama? I know, I know....vote first and find out the details after the election.
