Ann Romney is right. Well, about one thing, at least.

After watching a few minutes of the Mitt and Ann Romney's interview (?) on Fox News, I was reminded why I was so happy the night after the election. There really wasn't much they got right, or understood about the country, but one thing that Ann said she did hit right on the money: There would be no sequester if Mitt was in the White House. Sorry country, she did get that right. You see, under a Romney administration, no taxes would have been raised in December, and the GOP House would pass a budget which slash domestic expenditures and Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid by at least 30% while growing the Defense Department by 10%. Don't believe it? Look at the Ryan House budget. These draconian cuts are the only way to balance the budget in 30 years. Want to do it in ten? Then all spending except defense must be cut bu 50%. And yes, Mitt would sign that budget. Would the Democratic Party-controlled Senate stop it? No, they wouldn't try to stop the plan if the country showed it was what they wanted by voting in Romney.

So yes, Ann is right, and under a Romney administration, the country wouldn't be in the dire straights that it is in now. It would be in even dire straights. But that probably wouldn't bother her, Mitt, or member any of the Tea Party. Their concern isn't in the country, it's simply to dismantle the federal government.
