Romney And Obama Disagree About Federal Aid To States

This editorial quotes Mitt Romney who claims that Obama fails to understand the message from Wisconsin.  The message of Wisconsin is that public does not want to pay for more police, firefighters and teachers.  If Obama understood that message, he would not argue for more federal support to states and localities.  Romney describes aid to states and localities as an "economic stimulus" that has become one of the phrases that has been demonized by the GOP.

The article also provides a link to a video of Romney's interview on the GOP television network (Fox News),   in which he makes an effort to confuse the public on what he meant in his original statement.  Romney likes to tell his base what they want to hear, but he also recognizes that its important to spread confusion about what he means when he feeds his base red meat.
