Illustrate how the money is wasted.

You can't continue to spend more than you make.
And I agree with you. Are YOU ready for the pain it will cause?

If a family is spending more than they earn. There comes a time it HAS TO STOP. Then the family has to buy less, live on less and face a far lower standard of living. With countries facing bad debt situations, that has meant everyone except the super rich earning less and paying more at the shops. Are you ready for that?

Because spending cuts will hurt you.

I think spending on arms, food, oil subsidies to private buyers should stop. The money should be put into long term projects of tomorrow so we can have the Next Apple, Microsoft, Space Shuttle and all the other great scientific, engineering and technical discoveries of tomorrow.

Romney doesn't think more teachers are good, thinks business will develop those skills and thinks he can level the playing field between the US and China.

Since 2001, the United States has lost 2.8 million manufacturing jobs to China -- that despite U.S. factory workers being far more productive.

Partly, it can be explained by China's cheaper workers: The average hourly wage for Chinese manufacturing workers is less than a tenth that of their average U.S. counterparts, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And that's just China.

Now tell us how Vietnam got to be your biggest customer. Where did the money come from?
