KTC,
Perhaps, but that doesn't lessen the fact that Willard is obviously clueless as to how the American government ACTUALLY works, not when he makes statements like this (taken from original item I referenced in my initial post on this topic):
Mitt Romney was only off by billions of dollars when
he said Tuesday that the federal government doesn't pay for police officers, firefighters and teachers.
Trying to counter criticism from the White House, Romney argued that it was "completely absurd" to say he would cut the hiring of such civil servants because the federal government plays no part in those decisions.
"That's a very strange accusation," Romney said on "Fox & Friends." "Of course, teachers and firemen and policemen are hired at the local level and also by states. The federal government doesn't pay for teachers, firefighters or policemen. So obviously that is completely absurd."
