In talking about health insurance yesterday, Governor Mitt Romney commented that "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me." Of course, this was was immediately proclaimed a gaffe by the political reporters and jumped on by his opponents.
However, those who realize that there will have to be substantial cuts in government expenditures in order to control the deficit should welcome such an attitude. We can only hope that, when elected President, he will be enthusiastic in chopping government programs, even it it means firing people. We need a hard-hearted budget hawk who will not be dissuaded from making the necessary cuts, and who will not be swayed by the certain howls of outrage from those whose jobs will be lost. We can only hope that Romney truly means it.
