Eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less.
Other president has yet to do that a Republican budget hawk adds -- -- senator Tom Colbert also a doctor just put out the 2012 congressional waste book and it's filled.
And I -- billions of dollars of ridiculous government spending.
You want some examples and attacks that was -- work he got 5161000.

And they're also spreading it around for political purposes.
But I think when you look at this you can say.
Tonight there's going to be two different visions this and I'm trying to -- back to tonight.
One Obama thinks the government can manage money better we know that it can't the -- -- is evidence of that and that Romney saying no because when it's your own money.

I'm now America is spending 300000 dollars to promote -- -- consumption and production.
I do have some good news at the end of the -- Coburn I asked him listen by the way do you think that the Republicans -- Democrats regardless of who wins are gonna get together and stop.
And stop the insanity get together -- -- for -- is absolutely because people in congress.
Only do something when something is catastrophic if they don't we believe something will get -- we -- -- on a -- I think he's right -- -- They are gonna are they gonna cut the -- -- were approaching the fiscal cliff and a 25000 dollar study for a course -- -- should we wanna be happy.
It's come -- they can ask me that question I would -- yes.
Yes and that last name and I will -- -- -- -- cliff will not happen it's gonna get done.
He whether Romney wins or bombs -- get that in December all right and.
