Revenue, Bitches!

Gingrich: Romney Policies Will Lead To Less Teachers’

KING: The president says use federal dollars to help. Governor Romney says no. [...]

GINGRICH: We have to come to grips with how big the challenge is, and does that mean there will be fewer teachers? The honest answer is yes. Does it mean that you’re not going to get quite the same pension plan people have been getting? The honest answer is yes. President Obama may say well, we can borrow our way out of that decision. I don’t think the American people agree with him.

The American people don't need to agree with Obama on that because that's not his policy. Obama's policy, Democratic party public policy, is to pay for things like teachers, and firefighters, and food inspectors, by enacting tax policy that actually taxes billionaires and trans-national corporations. And the American people agree with that.

But this brings up another point.  The media never calls them on this lie.  Never suggests there is another solution beyond cutting investment in our future (hell, the media never even calls this stuff investments in the future)  And the media never ever brings up the fact we have revenue problems because the GOP has been deliberately destroying the tax base for the last 30 years.  Of course this is exactly what one would expect from transnational corporations that don't want to be taxed.  Anybody who says the media is liberal has either been in a coma since Bill Clinton became president, is an idiot, or a liar.
