Since the Republican primary I have heard the following from Mitt,

"I fully support the Ryan budget"
"I'll have my own budget"
"Our budgets are almost identical"
"Our budgets are the same"
Spokesperson: "If the Ryan budget comes to his desk he will sign it"

Does anyone have a definitive answer to this?

Mr. Romney is running for President so it is his budget that we ought to be investigating. I am sure that Romney will use parts of the Ryan budget in his but in the final analysis it is Romney's budget. Just because Romney likes the Ryan budget, his is the important one.

But Mitt said he fully supports the Ryan budget

From your quotes it appears he supports it. Why are you confused?

If its not the issue was Mitt lying during the primary when he said "I fully support the Ryan budget"

NO!

He had not, repeat, NOT published own budget at that time.

The issue is his budget. Well, that and the total lack of a budget from Bobo, the Post Turtle.

There's nothing to investigate though. Romney is so vague, we can't 'run the numbers'. Just like we can't see his taxes.

Lie, flip flop, and obfuscate: You're voting for this clown.

Ok so take the first one out. All the rest have been stated in the past week. WTF?

"I fully support the Ryan budget"

"Our budgets are almost identical"
"Our budgets are the same"

Mitt Romney is a fan of 'They Might Be Giants.'

Yes no... maybe.... I don't know - could you repeat the question?

"Ryan is not the boss of me now, Tea Party is not the boss of me now, Obama is not the boss of me now, because he's not so big. Politics is so unfair....":whiste:

He was for the Ryan budget before he was against it?

Pretty much.

Any R& R budget will share features of the Ryan budget, obviously, with variation in the details.

The rich will get richer at the expense of everybody else.

Meaningful financial regulation will be strangled in its crib.

Pandering to the know-nothings in the Repub base will increase.

Deficits will be maintained or increased, even if social services are annihilated. Tax cuts, Baby!

Looting of the productive capacity of America will continue to provide capital for more profitable offshore ventures, Mitt's proven method for increasing personal wealth.

Big military will protect those offshore assets.

Any questions?

Hmm...during those years where it shot up, your graph doesn't show that there was a Republican president.

Remind me again....who proposes the budget?

So what? It shot up every time repubs were in the minority in the Senate as this color coded chart of who's in the minority shows-

They've increased their obstructionism since Obama became president. The charts don't show all the secret holds & parliamentary maneuvers they've employed to attempt to prevent effective Dem governance.

It's shameful.
