Romney's campaign made another oopsie.

In a rush to respond to Obama's assertion that small business owners didn't build a business on their own, Mitt's campaign trotted out and used the experience of Jack Gilchrist.  Only problem is, Jack is the recipient of government-backed loans, including support from the SBA, and federal contracts worth millions.

And this quote from Jack made me crack up.

"Defense business is a good way to help the economy. But the President wants to cut the crap out of the defense budget."

You see, conservative people actually understand the value of government money spending as stimulating THEIR businesses and bottom line, or in other words, Keynesian economic policies work!  But when it comes to government spending on other projects and people, they see it as proof of government waste and crowding out the private economy.

Just more cognitive dissonance on the right.
