The debate was clearly in Romney's favor. Romney controlled the tone and tempo of the debate. Obama seemed like he didn't even want to be there. I was really surprised by how off Obama was, he barely called Mitt Romney out on many of his misleading and flat out false statements that Romney made. And Romney made plenty of them.

@bold
which were...?

Not going to make a list of them, but the most noticable one was denying that he wanted a 5 trillion dollar tax cut. He wants a 20% across the board tax cut, which would cost 4.8 trillion over 10 years. He also said that taxes wont go up on anyone, and that his tax plan would be revenue neutral, but that is impossible. You cant cut taxes on someone, and not raise them on someone else, and keep it balanced.

He didn't say revenue nuetral he said it wouldn't increase the deficit. That's two different things.
|
So if it is not going to increase the deficit, that means that somehow cutting taxes will increase, or not change the amount of revenue. That is impossible. The only way it could be considered possible is if cutting taxes somehow resulted in a dramatic increase of jobs, which the Bush era showed doesnt work.

Or you could cut government spending. 10 -12 = a 2 point deficit. 8-10 = also a -2 point deficit.
Combine that with removing regulations that makes job creation easier... and.....
